Feature request dblink: Security issue - dblink user+password parameters must be optional

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When creating a view via DBLINK, the user=... and password=... parameters shall be optional. If they are left out, then the current user accessing the view shall be impersonated implicitely to the "dblinked" database as well. Forcing anybody to hardcode a password readable within the view definition should be an absolute DON'T!

Haven't found a better place to post this request. Hope the author of dblink is reading it here, too. :-)
