Hi,
Is it possible to change the current role to another arbitrary role
using a PLPGSQL function?
In essence I've a function "authorise" created by the db superuser with
'SECURITY DEFINER' specificied.
However from within plpgsql the 'superuser' attribute isn't honored when
trying to change roles (ie: the non 'superuser' rules for role change
must be honoured).
Postgresql version 8.2.3
Is this a bug? .. If not, how do I achieve an 'adhoc' change of role
from within the "rules system"?
tnx,
-greg
