 I have a Table let´s say tb_test with
admin as the onwer and the only user with all privilege for  that
table, I want to create a function that user usr1 has permission to execute.
Within that function all i want to do is to update tb_test, but i get 
permission denied for that table when i try to execute the function as
usr1. Basically I want to insert or update a table via a
function restricting insert and update privilege to that
table. I´ve heard that there is a way of setting the privileges to the
level of the onwer of the function, can anyone give be a pratical
example?
thanks again

So
you want to pull conifential info from a table that has everyone's
confidential info, with no chance of leaking someone
else's?

order here... it might be a pain to manage though if you have a alot of
changing SELECTers.

Privilege
Hi guys,
  I´m almost sure that this question has been asked before... but
after a 2 days search, I couldn´t find any solutions for it, I´m a noob to
postgres, but manage to install version-7.3.4 no prob, and working fine. So
here goes:
I´m looking for a way to store procedures on the db so that i can only
access data through those, and only grand permissions to the user to
access the procedures and not the tables. I´ve read some stuff about setuid
in this mailing list but could not get it to work. Basically what i need is
to give privilege to the function to access the tables that will be used and
is not granted to the user that executed the function.
Any help will be very much appreciated, even if there is no way of doing
so :)
Thanks
Iandé
