GRANT/REVOKE behavior is specified by the standard, whereas the stuff we allow under ALTER VIEW is all an extension to the standard --- not merely syntax-wise, but functionality. A concrete reason not to do it is that if someone writes GRANT ON VIEW, their code won't port to other DBs that are following the spec, and it'll be only because we allowed non-spec syntactic sugar, not because they're using functionality not covered by the spec. We routinely complain about mysql inventing nonstandard ways to express things that have perfectly good spec-compliant equivalents. How would this be different? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
