Heh. That's your best rejection yet. Someday I'll print out all the rejection e-mails from you and wallpaper my office. ;-) I guess what I'm really hoping to do is to hack ROLEs into a primitive resource management tool. Maybe this is the wrong approach, but we need *something* in this vein, and from an application development perspective combining permissions, connections and resource allocation via ROLES makes a lot of sense. The SET ROLE issue comes in pretty much for login management. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL San Francisco -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
