#5950: Document the use of POSTGIS_REGRESS_DB_OWNER
----------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: robe | Owner: robe
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: medium | Milestone: PostGIS 3.6.0
Component: documentation | Version: 3.5.x

----------------------------+---------------------------
Comment (by strk):
The variable is documented in output of `regress/run_test.pl` when called
without arguments, togheter with POSTGIS_REGRESS_ROLE_EXT_CREATOR
It still takes superuser to tweak the `lc_messages` setting, the variable
is only needed to TEST unprivileged user creating and using postgis WHEN
the database allows to do so to unprivileged users.. (it takes a
PostgreSQL module to allow that).
Allowing non-superusers accounts to create the PostGIS extension would
require a change on our side to mark the extension as trusted, as
requested by #5567 (which was closed as a won't fix)
