Re: Database access right

AFAIK, you can add different lines at the end of pg_hba.conf where each line
refer to a single database name and also a single user/pw file . Each of
these files contain the user/pw of the valid users to be connected to each
database. here you can make each usr/pw file:

cd /usr/local/bin/
pg_passwd ../data/users1.pw //this file contains valid users for db1
pg_passwd ../data/users2.pw //this file contains valid users for db2
.
.
just make sure to have your DBA user/pw common in all these files.
Then you can add these lines to the end of pg_hba.conf file changing default
trusted mode to the name of the user/pw files as below :

local db1 user1.pw
local db2 user2.pw
.
.
.

hope that helps
