Hi everyone,
I’m experimenting with DigitalOcean App Platform and its managed PostgreSQL database for development. I’m running into an issue where I can’t create new schemas outside of the default public schema.
Is there a recommended way to create a user role with the necessary permissions to create schemas in other namespaces?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hey!
Dev databases on App Platform are limited by design, you can’t create new schemas or databases, and permissions are restricted to basic usage within the default DB. This is mentioned in the docs here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/how-to/manage-databases/
If you need more control (like creating schemas or managing roles), the best option is to use a DigitalOcean Managed PostgreSQL database, which gives you full access and flexibility:

Hope that helps!
