There are some system administration functions that have hardcoded superuser checks, specifically:
pg_reload_conf pg_rotate_logfile pg_read_file pg_read_file_all pg_read_binary_file pg_read_binary_file_all pg_stat_file pg_ls_dir Some of these are useful in monitoring or maintenance tools, and the hardcoded superuser checks require that these tools run with maximum privileges. Couldn't we just install these functions without default privileges and allow users to grant privileges as necessary? -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
