Come on, Chris, you've never heard about SQL standard LEDGE? That's
the nomenclature they chose to describe a collection of permissions:
a SHELF or LEDGE. PUBLEDGE, USERLEDGE, PRIVLEDGE. So, the last is the
PRIVATE LEDGE, reserved for the owner of the object whose access is
being determined (or was that PRIVITHEDGE? now I'm confused)
... or something. ;-) Actually, not too far from how some of the SQL92
standards docs actually seem to read, especially after falling asleep
face down on the keyboard will trying to understand them, and having
vivid dreams.
