No, I didn't know that, but I figured there might be another, better way to do this that I hadn't found. Thanks for the info; I'm going to dig into ALTER USER to see what else I may be missing. Consider this patch "rescinded", though it was a good exercise in working with PG source code. If anyone cares to, I'd still like feedback on anything I could have done better in this patch (i.e. coding style, better place to put this kind of code etc.).
I have the feeling it wouldn't have been accepted because it was kind of 'arbitrary'. It's generally a good idea to ask the -hackers list first if a patch is worth writing before actually writing it ;)
