Hm. I suspect the basic shape of what's happening here is "an existing session can continue to run with OuterUserId corresponding to a dropped role, but we fail when trying to duplicate that state into a parallel worker". I wonder whether there aren't similar gotchas for other GUCs whose interpretation depends on catalog lookups, eg search_path. We might need to redesign the GUC-propagation mechanism so it sends the various internal representations of GUC values, not the user-visible strings. (I'm thinking of the blobs that guc.c can use to restore a previous state at transaction abort ... don't recall what the code calls them ATM.) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
