This is the situation, I create a user called "
test=# create user """";
CREATE USER
test=# drop user """";
DROP USER
test=# create user """";
CREATE USER
test=# create table temp(a int4);
CREATE TABLE
test=# grant select on temp to """";
GRANT
test=# \dp temp
Access privileges for database "test"
Schema | Table | Access privileges
--------+-------+-----------------------------------------------------
public | temp | {chriskl=a*r*w*d*R*x*t*/chriskl,"\"\"\"=r/chriskl"}
(1 row)
OK, so the second aclitem is:
"\"\"\"=r/chriskl"
So how on earth does that quoting work????
If I remove the first and last quote (assuming the whole thing is quoted),
unescape it, then I get this:
"""=r/chriskl
Which I cannot parse, as """ doens't mean anything! I think that the second
aclitem should appear like this;
"\"\\\"\"=r/chriskl"
Which will (after removing string quotes and unescaping), reduce to this:
"\""=r/chriskl
I notice that it doesn't confuse postgres itself though:
test=# revoke select on temp from """";
REVOKE
test=# \dp temp
Access privileges for database "test"
Schema | Table | Access privileges
--------+-------+----------------------------------
public | temp | {chriskl=a*r*w*d*R*x*t*/chriskl}
(1 row)
So is there a bug here?
