Re: PostgreSQL BugTool Submission

Yes, this is a known issue due to the fact that the
triggers use SPI and need to use SELECT ... FOR UPDATE
to lock the rows it is reading (and select for update
requires the update permission).  The workaround I
know about for now is to give update permission and make
triggers to disallow updates as appropriate.

(If this isn't in the TODO list or FAQ yet, it probably
should be.)
