Hi John! It works. How does it deal with overloaded functions? :-) I don't have any here, yet, but from pg_proc's contents I couldn't find one way to define exactly what is the function that is authorized for use (we have to pass the parameters of the function at the command line, otherwise there's an error: testbase=# GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION my_function(VARCHAR, VARCHAR) TO dbmanager; GRANT testbase=# GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION my_function TO dbmanager; ERROR: syntax error at or near "to" at character 41 testbase=# GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION my_functon() TO dbmanager; ERROR: function my_function() does not exist testbase=# <some more testing> I found that I can check 'proargtypes' column and compare it with the definitions I want, but it would be great if there was some psql builtin macro to do that :-) This solves my problem from the SQL point of view, but I still think that psql should have something like that (with the appropriate proargtypes replacement from numeric to the type name...). testbase=# SELECT proacl, proargtypes FROM pg_proc WHERE proname='to_ascii'; proacl | proargtypes ---------------+------------- {=X/postgres} | 25 {=X/postgres} | 25 19 {=X/postgres} | 25 23 (3 rows) testbase=# Where can I find this '25', '19', '23', etc. name? :-) Thanks. -- Godoy. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
