It seems to me that the next commit after the label-switcher-function patch ought to be a contrib module that implements a basic form of SE-Linux driven permissions checking. I'm pretty unexcited about continuing to add additional facilities that could be used by a hypothetical module without actually seeing that module, and I think that the label-switcher-function patch is the last piece of core infrastructure that is a hard requirement rather than "nice to have". I'd rather have a complete feature with limited capabilities than half a feature with really awesome capabilities. I suspect that getting fine-grained DDL permissions into PostgreSQL 9.1 is not going to happen. There is a significant amount of complexity there and we are getting short on time. It took us three CommitFests to work through the plan we discussed at PGCon, and this isn't so much simpler that I expect to be able to do it in one. Of course, how you want to spend your time is up to you, but count me as a strong vote for postponing this work to 9.2, when there will be ample time to give it the care and attention it needs. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
