I agree that they should be consistant. The GRANT ON ALL shares alot
more of the syntax with GRANT than DefaultACL though, which makes it a
more interesting question there. I can understand not wanting to
duplicate the GRANT syntax. I think my suggestion would be to add a
field to the structure passed around by GRANT which indicates if 'VIEW'
was requested or not in the command. This could be used both for GRANT
ON ALL and to allow 'GRANT ON VIEW blah' to verify that the relation
being granted on is a view.
Thanks,
