Unable to get past permission denied: docker error

Question

1. Making sure retail_db is either mounted or copied on to the Docker Container.

docker run --name retail_pg -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mypassword -v /Users/fallout/PycharmProjects/Internal/data_copy/retail_pg:/var/lib/postgresql/data -v /Users/fallout/research/data/retail_db_json:/data -p 5432:5432 postgres

CREATE DATABASE retail_db;
CREATE USER retail_user WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'something';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE retail_db TO testing;

After which I run:

docker exec -it retail_pg psql -U testing -d retail_db -f /data/create_db_tables_pg.sql

Results in:

psql:/data/create_db_tables_pg.sql:12: ERROR:  permission denied for schema public
LINE 1: CREATE TABLE departments (

Any ideas how to fix this?

Answer 1

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON SCHEMA PUBLIC TO user_name;

Above is the solution to fix the issue. @Turing85 answered but there is an error in the syntax.
