If the user 'lowen' is then expanded to 'lowen@template1' it would be stored that way -- and lowen@template1 is different from lowen@pari, for instance. The lowen@template1 user could be a superuser and lowen@pari might not -- but they become distinct users. Although I do understand the difficulty if the FQDU isn't stored in full in the appropriate places. So I guess the solution is that wherever a user name is to be stored, the fully qualified form must be used and checked against, with @template1 being a 'this user is everywhere' shorthand. But maybe I'm just misunderstanding the implementation. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
