I have now received multiple requests to split this patchset into multiple parts, including some off-list. I'll be posting four new patch sets on four new topics:
New privileged roles which can SET and ALTER SYSTEM SET (v8-0002 through v8-0013) Non-superuser event trigger owners (v8-0014 and v8-0015) Non-superuser subscription owners (v8-0016 through v8-0018) CREATEROLE and role ownership hierarchies (v8-0001 and v8-0019 through v8-0021) I cannot presume everyone will be interested, so I will only cc'd Andrew on the new threads, given his status as a reviewer. I don't mean by this to cut anyone out of the discussion. — Mark Dilger EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
