I am very confused about something though. Not one person here has said anything about how pg_ident works or what I did wrong. Is pg_ident deprecated? Is there no way to accomplish this with pg_ident? Why has everybody suggested either I don't do what I want/need to do or that I should do it via the su mechanism? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
