BTW, something else I'd meant to bring up for discussion is whether
anyone likes the formatting of column privileges in \dp:
regression=# create table foo(bar int, baz int);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# grant select on foo to joe;
GRANT
regression=# grant insert(bar), update(baz) on foo to joe;
GRANT
regression=# \dp foo Access privilegesSchema | Name | Type | Access privileges |
Columnaccess privileges
--------+------+-------+---------------------------+--------------------------public | foo | table |
postgres=arwdDxt/postgres| bar: : joe=r/postgres : joe=a/postgres
: baz: : joe=w/postgres
(1 row)
(The colons after the column names are something I added on my own
authority to Stephen's original.)
This seems a bit ASCII-art-ish to me; it certainly wouldn't be readily
parsable by programs. Now that's not really the design goal for \d
output, and I don't have a better suggestion offhand, but still...
anyone got a better idea?
