I was able to successfully connect to my app’s dev database, however when I try to create a schema with this script:
client.query(
`CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS ${team};`, (err, res) => {
if (err) console.log(err.stack);
});
I get the following error:
digitalocean app error: permission denied for database db
I understand that the dev database doesn’t allow me to create databases, but nothing is said about creating schemas which is what I tried to do. It turns out that the default user db
doesn’t have that privilege and it seems that there’s no way for me to change it.
What are the default user permissions? Should I be allowed to create PostgreSQL schemas in the dev database? This is what I get, and it looks like the user I have access to has no permissions whatsoever.
Role name | Attributes | Member of |
---|---|---|
_dodb | Superuser, Replication | {} |
db | {} | |
doadmin | Create role, Create DB, Replication, Bypass RLS | {db} |
postgres | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication, Bypass RLS | {} |

Could anyone solve this?
@kamaln7 any news? I’m trying to develop a new API, but I cannot create a new schema on my dev database.
I am also experiencing this issue, and it’s preventing me from moving forward with a project; I’d love to use hosted Postgres instead of maintaining my own, but I need multiple schema to do it.
@kamaln7, would you mind chiming in?
I am wondering the same thing. Did you ever get a response?
I have tried to do it right now throught rpostgis R package, and the results is the follow:
