Re: Role and grants

Thanks for your reply.

I had seen that link from documentation but I do not understand why it prints just "connect,temporary and create":

CTc/test1

I think it should be print "arwdDxt".

With this other command neither I get more information:

postgres=# \du
List of roles
Role name | Attributes | Member of
-----------+------------------------------------------------+-----------
postgres | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication | {}
test1 | | {}

Regards.

My guess is the above is not doing what you think it is. See further
comments below for seeing what 'grant all privileges on database' gets you.

To understand the abbreviations see here:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/sql-grant.html
PostgreSQL: Documentation: 9.5: GRANT<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/sql-grant.html>
www.postgresql.org
GRANT on Database Objects. This variant of the GRANT command gives specific privileges on a database object to one or more roles. These privileges are added to those ...

Look for:

"The entries shown by \dp are interpreted thus:"
