Working as babase_admin is fine for the moment.  Probably the right
way is to be babase_admin and do:

grant all on schema fecal to group babase_editors;

After that you can work as you, as far as creating new
tables.  After creating a table you'll need to grant
the babase_editors and the babase_readers groups
the appropriate access to the table.  I think
the granting is already in the regular babase docs,
although this should probably all go in
the wiki so you can tailor the instructions to match this
sort of circumstance.

The best thing is to first create the table with exactly the
columns and exactly the datatypes you want.  Then you can
use either the "import" link in the upper right corner
of PPA or use the "update" program in babase.

(I'm assuming that we need new tables, that the existing
ones won't do.)
