I'm confused and unhappy about your characterisation of the state of this patch. You make it seem as though there was broad consensus about the changes that were needed, and that I left the patch sitting in the archives for a long time without addressing important issues. You revised and refined your GRANT proposal in stages, and I tried to adapt the code to suit. I'm sorry that my efforts were not fast enough or responsive enough to make you feel that progress was being made. But nobody else commented in detail on the GRANT changes except to express general misgivings, and nobody else even disagreed when I inferred, in light of the lack of consensus that Robert pointed out, that the code was unlikely to make it into 9.5. Given that I've maintained the code over the past year despite its being rejected in an earlier CF, and given the circumstances outlined above, I do not think it's reasonable to conclude after a couple of weeks without a new version that it was abandoned. As I had mentioned earlier, there are people who already use pgaudit as-is, and complain if I break it. Anyway, I guess there is no such thing as a constructive history discussion, so I'll drop it. -- Abhijit -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
