A pg_default_acl entry shows the initial privileges to
be assigned to an object belonging to the indicated user. There are
currently two types of entry: “global” entries with
defaclnamespace = 0, and “per-schema” entries
that reference a particular schema. If a global entry is present then
it overrides the normal hard-wired default privileges
for the object type. A per-schema entry, if present, represents privileges
to be added to the global or hard-wired default privileges.
Note that when an ACL entry in another catalog is null, it is taken
to represent the hard-wired default privileges for its object,
not whatever might be in pg_default_acl
at the moment. pg_default_acl is only consulted during
object creation.
