functions with the attribute <literal>SECURITY DEFINER</literal>.
In Unix parlance, the session user is the <quote>real user</quote> and
the current user is the <quote>effective user</quote>.
+ <function>current_role</function> and <function>user</function> are
+ synonyms for <function>current_user</function>. (The SQL standard draws
+ a distinction between <function>current_role</function>
+ and <function>current_user</function>, but <productname>PostgreSQL</>
+ does not, since it unifies users and roles into a single kind of entity.)
Looks simple and good to me. Thanks for the wording!
