Am I to conclude that most of the people on the list do not use GRANT PRIVILEGE to implement anything more than the minimal authorization scheme required to obtain access for anyone? Nil reports, as in: "Generally, we do not use PostgreSQL's GRANT PRIVILEGE to implement detailed user ACLs", would be most welcome. If instead you are using GRANT PRIVILEGE and have not responded, a simple "We (often, occasionally, seldom) use detailed GRANT PRIVILEGE based user ACLs" is sufficient. I really want to get a sense of how prevalent using GRANT PRIVILEGE, beyond the minimum required, is. And this seems like a very good place to discover it. Again, please reply off-list if you wish. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
