Thread: pgsql: Document changes in large-object privilege checking.
Document changes in large-object privilege checking. Commit 5ecc0d738 removed the hard-wired superuser checks in lo_import and lo_export in favor of protecting them with SQL permissions, but failed to adjust the documentation to match. Fix that, and add a <caution> paragraph pointing out the nontrivial security hazards involved with actually granting such permissions. (It's still better than ALLOW_DANGEROUS_LO_FUNCTIONS, though.) Also, commit ae20b23a9 caused large object read/write privilege to be checked during lo_open() rather than in the actual read or write calls. Document that.
