Hi,

In my opinion, access permissions and views (data preprocessing, etc.)
both represent a mechanism to increase confidentiality of data. There's
a person who doesn't think so. Who do you think is right?

Thanks.

P.S. Sorry, if that's a bit off topic.
P.P.S. I believe we can create arbitrary views, including views that
aggregrate data from many rows into a summary value. Please correct me
if i'm wrong.

Sincerely,
Reshat.
