Greetings, (Sent this earlier, but afraid it may have gotten caught by the too-big bug, so I'm reposting without the files attached, they can all be found at: http://kenobi.snowman.net/~sfrost/pg_role/ ; there are also gzip and uncompressed versions of the unified / context diffs there for those who don't care for bzip2)
Attached please find files and patches associated with moving from the User/Group system currently in place to Roles, as discussed previously. The files are: pg_authid.h New system table, contains role information To be placed in src/include/catalog, replacing pg_shadow.h pg_auth_members.h New system table, contains role/membership information To be placed in src/include/catalog, replacing pg_group.h role_2005062701.ctx.patch.bz2 Main patch, generated via cvs -z3 diff -c | bzip2 (gzip didn't quite get it under the 100K mark for the list) role_milestones List of milestones associated with my work on Roles support '*' indicates that the milestone has been met/completed '?' indicates uncertainty about if something should be done No marker indicates an item which needs to be done Note: Documentation needs to be updated Again, my apologies for not getting this in sooner, it's been a little hectic around here of late. I'm anxious to get feedback, comments, corrections, etc. Thanks, Stephen ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
