Re: View permission error after upgrading from 8.4 -> 9.2

None of the relations used by vcredit_info are views.   They are all tables.   Oddly, I dropped the view and recreated it and the problem went away.  Earlier I was just using create or replace view and the problem persisted.   The schema was created by using pg_restore from an 8.4 custom dump.   I can do another pg_restore and see if the problem is reproducible if you want.

Permissions checks for tables referenced by a view are done as the view's
owner. I'm suspicious that one of the relations used in your view
vcredit_info is itself a view that references developer_title, and
is owned by some other user with less privilege than you.
