For what it's worth, I greatly appreciate *having* the hooks. Without them, it would have been much more difficult to prototype pgaudit, and it would have been impossible to do so in a way that could be used with 9.3/9.4. As for whether auditing as a feature *should* be an extension, I do not have a strong opinion yet. If a consensus formed around a better design in-core, I certainly wouldn't object. > I'm rather unconvinced that having to go, independently, update the > contrib modules to understand each new object is going to be a > terribly workable long-term solution.

Suggestions are welcome, but I have to say that I'm not a big fan of reinventing what event trigger give us in the way of deparsing either. -- Abhijit -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
