Another possibility is to create a set of functions that contain the
query operations you would like to allow, isolate those in a schema,
and make that schema the only thing accessible to the (semi-)trusted
users.

Generally, I try to design things so that web servers and other
clients who could potentially be compromised don't execute full-
function SQL directly, but go through functions instead.
