Well, an SQL-manipulated row security column will probably have a content like
   {joe=rw/bob,staff=r/bob}

An SELinux-aware row security column will probably have a content like
  blah_t:foo_t:quux_t

And a Solaris TX-aware security column will probably have a content like
  Classified

How can we stick all of these in the same column at the same time?
