    I'd have thought you could keep track of this in the logs by
    setting log_statement >= ddl ?

    I'm pretty sure this is a feature that's not wanted, but the
    ability to add triggers to these sorts of events would surely make
    more sense than a specific auditing capability.


I concede your suggestion of the ddl log output. I guess that could then be filtered to obtain the necessary information.



This could probably be defeated by making the permissions changes in a stored function. Or even a DO block, I suspect, unless you had log_statement = all set.

I do agree with Glyn, though, that making provision for auditing one particular event is not desirable.
