restrict modification of column values in BR triggers

Hi,

is there any way to prevent role from modifing values of some columns of
NEW row in before row triggers? I revoked insert privilege from these
columns to ensure that only default value can be inserted, but it is still
posible to modify values being inserted using before row triggers. I can't
revoke trigger privilege on that table, because this role must be able to
create triggers on this table.

Thank you.

Best regards
Miroslav Simulcik

No, or at least I don't think so. If you give someone trigger
privileges on your table, that's pretty much game over. The trigger
functions they create will run as you.
