Re: Setuid functions

Okay, what I'm thinking is to have a pair of commands added to PL/pgSQL. For
the sake of example we'll call them:

ENABLE PRIVLEDGE  --> Sets user ID to that of the function's owner
DISABLE PRIVLEDGE --> Restores the original UID

I saw something like this being used in the referential integrity code, and
thought this would be a nice (albeit incomplete) way to generalize this
ability.
