That definitely should be a separate patch. Which can be committed much earlier than the rest - even if we don't actually end up needing it for this feature, it's still good to have it. > * replace all role attributes columns in pg_authid with single int64 column > named rolattr. > * update CreateRole and AlterRole to use rolattr. > * update all has_*_privilege functions to check rolattr. > * builtin SQL function 'has_role_attribute' that takes a role oid and text > name of the attribute as input and returns a boolean. I think if we're going to do this - and I'm not yet convinced that that's the best route, we should add returns all permissions a user has. Right now that's quite easily queryable, but it won't be after moving everything into one column. You'd need to manually use all has_*_ functions... Yes, you've added them already to pg_roles, but there's sometimes good reasons to go to pg_authid instead.
