During the closing days of the 9.1 release, we had discussed that we should add privileges on types (and domains), so that owners can prevent others from using their types because that would prevent the owners from changing them in certain ways. (Collations have similar issues and work quite similar to types, so we could include them in this consideration.)
As I'm plotting to write code for this, I wonder about how to handle default privileges. For compatibility and convenience, we would still want to have types with public privileges by default. Should we continue to hardcode this, as we have done in the past with functions, for example, or should we use the new default privileges facility to register the public default privileges in the template database? -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
