This is the situation, I create a user called " test=# create user """"; CREATE USER test=# drop user """"; DROP USER test=# create user """"; CREATE USER test=# create table temp(a int4); CREATE TABLE test=# grant select on temp to """"; GRANT test=# \dp temp Access privileges for database "test" Schema | Table | Access privileges --------+-------+----------------------------------------------------- public | temp | {chriskl=a*r*w*d*R*x*t*/chriskl,"\"\"\"=r/chriskl"} (1 row)
OK, so the second aclitem is: "\"\"\"=r/chriskl" So how on earth does that quoting work???? If I remove the first and last quote (assuming the whole thing is quoted), unescape it, then I get this: """=r/chriskl Which I cannot parse, as """ doens't mean anything! I think that the second aclitem should appear like this; "\"\\\"\"=r/chriskl" Which will (after removing string quotes and unescaping), reduce to this: "\""=r/chriskl I notice that it doesn't confuse postgres itself though: test=# revoke select on temp from """"; REVOKE test=# \dp temp Access privileges for database "test" Schema | Table | Access privileges --------+-------+---------------------------------- public | temp | {chriskl=a*r*w*d*R*x*t*/chriskl} (1 row) So is there a bug here?
