Re: Is postgresql ca do the job for software deployed in

A sodden late night idea ... schemas don't need to have names that are meaningful to outsiders.

Still, the point about "political" aspects is an important one. OTH, schemas provide an elegant way of segregating data.

My $0.02 (not worth what it was)

Hi, Mikael,

Just my 2 cents:

Sometimes, schemas would work _technically_, but not politically, as a
postgresql user cannot be prevented from listing all schemas (or even
all databases in the same user), regardless whether he/she has access
rights.

But it is not always acceptable that a customer knows which other
customers one has.

This forces the use of the "one cluster per customer" paradigm.

Thanks,
Markus
