I spent time with Julie last night working on this, and the
problem comes back down to "pg_user: Permission Denied"...
I think this is a high priority problem, since it affects so many
things.
What is the chance of (how hard would it be to?) having a hard
coded view setup that overrides the permissions lock on pg_user? At what
point is the lock implemented, software level, or file system?
All we would really need was:
create view all_users as select usename,usesysid from pg_user;
Which psql/odbc/ecgp/jdbc could call instead of what its doing
now...
