PostgreSQL - relation doesnt exist error when granting priviliges

Question

I entered postgres console with sudo and did this:

create user uu with password 'uu';    
create database u_db owner uu;   
grant all privileges on u_db to uu;

Error: Relation u_db doesnt exist.

Answer 1

You have to use the keyword DATABASE for granting here. So I'm posting you the output from psql in:

postgres=# create user uu with password 'uu'; 
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# create database u_db owner uu;  
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# grant all privileges on u_db to uu;
FEHLER:  Relation »u_db« existiert nicht
postgres=# grant all privileges on database u_db to uu;
GRANT

However. IMHO through the owner setting of database you don't need to grant extra rights for the user uu.
