I was little bit surprised so regproc, regprocedure is not used on SQL level in our builtin functions - and I use both types often in our custom queries. So it can be similar with regrole and regaclrole - it can be addressed for more orthogonal work with roles I am sending patch, but I will not assign to commitfest now. Regards Pavel
