Urgh, yes, point. Well, we could test that it errors out correctly. :)
Another thought might be to allow the "check if a module is loaded
before doing things" to be a postgresql.conf option that is disabled in
the regression testing.. If you can modify postgresql.conf you can
remove the module anyway.. Interesting question as to if we should
auto-fail queries against objects which have labels when no security
module is loaded. Have we discussed that yet?
Thanks,
Stephen
