[GENERAL] showing rules/triggers with psql
hey, kind of a simple question. How can you show the rules/triggers on a database using psql. Even better: how can you show all rules/triggers/constrains/etc that pertain to a given table? as always...thanks. --tony -Original Message- From: Peter Eisentraut [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2001 11:06 AM To: Anthony Metzidis Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [GENERAL] PG_PWD and PG_PASSWORD Security Anthony Metzidis writes: > Is there any way to keep postgres from saving the passwords in plain > text?

Pg_shadow is the system catalog table that stores the user information, such as user name and password. The pg_pwd file is a plain text dump of pg_shadow, which is necessary because at the time the password is needed (during the connection attempt), the system can't read the pg_shadow table yet (because it's not connected yet, sort of). -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://yi.org/peter-e/
