How about the following: CREATE TABLE test1 ( id serial NOT NULL, username text NOT NULL, value text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) ); COPY test1 (username, value) FROM stdin DELIMITER '|'; user1|user1_1 user1|user1_2 user2|user2_1 user2|user2_2 user2|user2_3 \. CREATE VIEW test1v AS SELECT id, username, value FROM test1 WHERE username = current_user; Here the result of "SELECT * FROM test1v" depends on who issued the query. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
