It' s possible to deny access in other ways already.
For validating the restore, while allowing easy read-only access. If you could declare a read-only connection in pg_hba.conf it would give the same functionality, but you really can't... I'm not saying it's a big feature. But the way it looks now it seems to be artificially restricted from a usecase. Or is there a technical reason why we don't allow it? -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
