TypeORM attempts to create tables that already exist when its user is not the owner of that table, regardless of privilege settings

Issue type:

[ ] question [x ] bug report [ ] feature request [ ] documentation issue

Database system/driver:

[ ] cordova [ ] mongodb [ ] mssql [ ] mysql / mariadb [ ] oracle [x ] postgres [ ] sqlite [ ] sqljs [ ] websql

TypeORM version:

[x ] latest [ ] @next [ ] 0.x.x (or put your version here)

Steps to reproduce or a small repository showing the problem:

1. create postgres table as user1
2. grant all privileges on table to user2
3. configure typeorm to log into this db and table under login user2
4. use typeorm to query table Expected behavior: query should execute as expected without new table creation Actual behavior: query attempts to create the table as if it didn’t exist but fails because postgres returns an error stating the table already exists
5. alter the table’s owner to be user2
6. use typeorm to query table Actual behavior: query does not attempt to create table, as it recognizes it already exists.

Speculation: I suspect that this is due to TypeORM only detects tables of which its configured user is the owner.

I’m experiencing the same issue. Any ideas?

Using only lowercase naming is not always an option. In my case all the tables have to camelCase naming. I already configured the lower_case_tables_name in my.cnf but that does not seem to work at all, typescritps still throws an error saying table systemversion already exists (with systemversion being one of my tables)
