Re: Where to hook my custom access control module?

Hello,

first of all, I've tried to ask on pgsql-general mailing list as advised,
but no answer.

I'd like to look at a possibility of integrating OpenPMF
(http://www.openpmf.org) with the PostgreSQL. There is a possibility to
have a "weak" integration by using a provided rule system and SQL, but
this way we would lose central management functionality of OpenPMF,
especially its policy violation notifications and we'll need to
synchronize rules with policies from time to time. So now I think about
how to directly integrate some kind of OpenPMF policy enforcement point
into the PostgreSQL. For this I would need some access control hook inside
PostgreSQL which would be called on every action and my PEP would get a
chance to deny some access. Is there anything like that supported in the
PostgreSQL?

Exactly what is "open" about this product other than the name? It looks
closed and proprietary to me.

cheers
