Re: [pgsql-general] Daily digest v1.5986 (24 messages)

Sylvain,
All of the things you want to do can be done using Veil:
http://veil.projects.postgresql.org/

Be warned though, it is not simple. If you want privileges at the
column level, or based on a where clause, you will have to use
techniques like Veil's secured views.

It's better to avoid this sort of complexity if you can. Try reading
the documentation though, it may give you some ideas.
