has_schema_privilege function

От

Hi, I have created below function. I am checking return value of has_schema_privilege by using flag="f". I think this is not strong way to make a check because if in future "f" becomes "false" my stored procedure will work improper.
 
Could you tell me is there any other robust way to make sure that user1 doesn't have CREATE permissions on mydb schema?
 
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION schema_perm_test()
  RETURNS void AS
$BODY$
    $rv = spi_exec_query("SELECT has_schema_privilege('user1', 'mydb', 'CREATE') AS flag;");
    if(lc($rv->{rows}->[0]->{flag}) eq "f") {
         # Do tasks
    }
$BODY$
  LANGUAGE 'plperl' VOLATILE SECURITY DEFINER
 
Thanks.

It depends what you're worried about. If you're worried that plperl
will begin mapping booleans to perl variables differently or Postgres
will change the text representation then you could alter the SQL to
say something like CASE WHEN has_schema_privilege() THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
or whatever constant you prefer like 'yes' and 'no' or 'ok' and ''.
