Hi, It might be relevant for the whole discussion about inclusion of some form of row level permissions, whatever based on, that there exist heaps of (in my eyes conflicting) patents about row level permissions for relational databases. I don't have any real clue about patent issues, but I fear that makes inclusion into an open source product rather hard...
A list of only some of the patents I know of: Data security system and method - 5751949 - MCI Corp. - 1998 Rule based database security system and method - 6820082 - Allegis Corporation - 2004 Row-level security in a relational database management system - 7240046 - IBM - 2007 Database fine-grained access control - 7281003 - Oracle - 2007 Andres
