We don't allow a user to be created as CURRENT_USER, but we allow a database to be created with name CURRENT_DATABASE. postgres=# create user current_user; ERROR: CURRENT_USER cannot be used as a role name here LINE 1: create user current_user; ^ postgres=# create database current_database; CREATE DATABASE We will need to make CURRENT_DATABASE a reserved keyword. But I like this idea more than COMMENT ON CURRENT DATABASE. -- Best Wishes, Ashutosh Bapat EnterpriseDB Corporation The Postgres Database Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
