The point being that you should not improve the "security" at that point, you should simply use the tools you already have in PostgreSQL. How about extending PostgreSQL to do db-based authentication instead (i'm not a very experienced pgsql user, so i'm just concluding this from what you've said earlier) ? And to mention one other thing that i've seen more frequently on the list in the last months; if someone objects to a patch, people tend to get rather "heated up" as you put it. Even if it doesnt get commited, you'll still be able to solve -your- problem, right? You're free to offer that patch to anyone who want it, but please, dont get angry when someone doesnt agree in the way something get done. I'll have to agree with the earlier posts, i think this is the wrong place to add anything like this. -- mats -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
