Well, that's a tough one. It would be a regression. I would say no to changing the former, because the fact that this prevents the type owner from changing the type is not a regression because you couldn't change types before at all. Probably we need some privileges on types to address this properly. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
