I used to use a different approach: 1. Create auth() pl/python procedure as follows: create or replace function auth(auser_id integer) returns void as $$ GD['user_id'] = auser_id $$ language plpythonu; This procedure is supposed to be called after a sucesseful authorisation (in a database or on application side). 2. Create get_current_user() procedure: create or replace function get_current_user() returns integer as $$ return GD.get('user_id') $$ language plpythonu stable security definer; Now you can get current user id from every SQL query or stored procedure. It works fast because Python shared array GD is always present in memory.
