That might be reasonable, but the documentation is completely wrong about that. That said, why even have USING and CHECK as separate clauses? Can't you just create different policies if you want them different? Hypothetical example: CREATE POLICY p1 ON t1 FOR SELECT CHECK (extract(year from entered_on) = extract(year from current_timestamp)); CREATE POLICY p2 ON t2 FOR INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE CHECK (entered_by = current_user); -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
