Regarding this item: * Consider reverting preventing regular users from base type creation You raise this point: tgl says: whether or not we think PL/Java is bulletproof, there are other problems, for instance this one http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/87zlnwnvjg....@news-spur.riddles.org.uk That's a pretty overwhelming argument for leaving it as-is. I think we should remove this from the list of open items. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
