Thanks for the feedback.
I created a simple v4 patch to cover your feedback
v4 applies the filter at all four sites where pg_dump queries pg_init_privs:
- getAggregates() — WHERE clause comparison
- getFuncs() — WHERE clause comparison
- getAdditionalACLs() — SELECT expression (object-level initprivs)
- PREPQUERY_GETCOLUMNACLS — SELECT expression (column-level initprivs,
objsubid != 0)
Secondly to avoid duplicating the multi-line subquery at every call
site, I introduced a SAFE_INITPRIVS(col) macro.
I tried to add more clean and detailed comments for future commits but
please let me know if you have additional feedback on it.
Regards,
Demir.
