Interesting idea. It seems like it might be possible to make this work. One obvious thing to watch out for is object ownership information. Roles are stored in pg_authid, which is a shared catalog, so if you're unlucky you could manage to create a database containing one or more objects that owned by a role ID that doesn't exist in pg_authid, which will probably break things all over the place. There could be other pitfalls as well but that's the only one that's obvious to me off the top of my head... I would strongly recommend basing this on the latest minor release of PostgreSQL 9.0 rather than an outdated minor release of PostgreSQL 8.4. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
