Re: Regarding access to a user

Dear Kevin
Thanks for the help. But still the user is able to see all the databases. I defined something like this

# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host HMRI_database hmri 127.0.0.1/32 md5

in the above case hmri is user and HMRI_database. But still when user is log in as 'hmri' it is able to access all the databases.
Please provide a solution for the same.

Thanks & Regards,

The first thing you need to do is configure "host based
authentication":

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/auth-pg-hba-conf.html

Among other things, this allows you to restrict which users can
connect to which databases.
