Yeah, that sucks. > Finally, you've got the idea of making pg_ a reserved prefix for > roles, adding some predefined roles, and giving them some predefined > privileges. That should be yet another patch. On this part I have a bit of a problem -- the prefix is not really reserved, is it. I mean, evidently it's still possible to create roles with the pg_ prefix ... otherwise, how come the new lines to system_views.sql that create the "predefined" roles work in the first place? I think if we're going to reserve role names, we should reserve them for real: CREATE ROLE should flat out reject creation of such roles, and the default ones should be created during bootstrap. IMO anyway. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
