Hi Marc, can you please tell me why you changed the user/group concept to the role concept? I cannot see any advantages, though I see, that the complete user administration needs to be modified when upgrading to the next version. As I am on vacation beginning next week, please respond also to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Now, after spending the past few weeks processing through outstanding patches applicable to 8.1, we now enter our beta testing period, where we need help from the community at large. PostgreSQL 8.1 will bring in alot of fairly large features, including: - Improve concurrent access to the shared buffer cache - Add in-memory bitmaps which allows multiple indexes to be merged in a single query - Add two-phase commit - Create a new role system that replaces users and groups - Move /contrib/pgautovacuum into the main server - Add shared row level locks using SELECT ... FOR SHARE - many many others listed in the HISTORY file As with all major releases, we need to put the above changes through some extensive testing, in as many scenarios as possible, so encourage both testing, as well as bug reports. PostgreSQL 8.1 Beta 1 is now available via: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.1beta Please report any bugs with this beta to: pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org Or through our Bug Reporting Tool available at: http://www.postgresql.org/support/submitbug ---- Marc G.
