Hi,

Per viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1831 I now know when a schema was created, but how do I know who create it?

Hi Sarah,

You have the documentation? In the same SCHEMATA table:

SCHEMA_OWNER  VARCHAR  Name of the owner who created the schema

Ok, sorry. I was thinking if the schema owner was changed, how would I know who created it. But we can't change a schema owner, so I guess this is a none issue

Code: Select all

dbadmin=> create user sarah;
CREATE USER
dbadmin=> create schema sarah;
CREATE SCHEMA
dbadmin=> select schema_owner from schemata where schema_name = 'sarah';
 schema_owner 
--------------
 dbadmin
(1 row)
dbadmin=> alter schema sarah owner to sarah;
ERROR 2676:  Command ALTER SCHEMA is not supported

SCHEMA_OWNER VARCHAR Name of the owner who created the schema

That's not technically true when the "AUTHORIZATION" option is used on the CREATE SCHEMA command

Code: Select all

dbadmin=> create user jim;
CREATE USER

dbadmin=> create schema cowboy authorization jim;
CREATE SCHEMA

dbadmin=> select schema_owner, create_time  from schemata where schema_name = 'cowboy';
 schema_owner |          create_time
--------------+-------------------------------
 jim          | 2014-04-24 09:05:46.588581-04
(1 row)

I created the cowboy schema as the user dbadmin, not the user jim.
