Set database owner to fix PG 15+ schema permissions - #284
Merged
Conversation
PostgreSQL 15+ revokes CREATE on the public schema from all users except the database owner. Without setting owner, the database is owned by postgres and the candlepin user cannot create tables. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Where did you end up with Candlepin running against PostgreSQL 16, while deployed by Puppet? The fix is correct, I am mostly curious why it was needed. |

Summary
ownerparameter topostgresql::server::dbresource so the candlepin database is owned by thecandlepinuser instead ofpostgresCREATEon thepublicschema by default — only the database owner retains itpublicschema when running against PG 15+Root Cause
The
publicschema in PG 15+ is owned bypg_database_owner, a special role that maps to the database owner. When the database is owned bypostgres(the default whenowneris not set), thecandlepinuser has noCREATEprivilege on thepublicschema.Note:
puppet-foremanalready setsownercorrectly — this alignspuppet-candlepinwith that pattern.Test plan
