Thanks for the suggestion, it helped and I found out alex could not execute the view as it didn't have privileges for the function associated with operator
But a small doubt arises here I have to revoke the execution of the function using the command
REVOKE ALL ON ALL FUNCTIONS IN SCHEMA public from public;
but when I tried
REVOKE EXECUTE ON FUNCTION text_equals(text,text) FROM alex;
or
REVOKE ALL ON FUNCTION text_equals(text,text) FROM alex;
It didn't work i.e alex can still execute text_equals function. Why is it so?
Especially the part regarding default privileges. The PUBLIC pseudo-role is granted execute on functions by default. You are probably trying to revoke a privilege from alex that was never granted to alex directly.
