Privileges
Hello all,
I have a couple of questions for you:
We are trying to setup a "group" in our database... groupx.
I found the syntax in the FAQ, from the PostgreSQL homepage.
So, we followed the syntax and created the group:
insert into pg_group values ('groupx', '1234', {5678, 9876});
It worked. We now have a group, groupx. Then, we granted permissions to
that group for a particular table, foo:
grant insert on foo to group groupx;
That seemed to work, too. So, I (as part of that group, and as a user
that did not previously have permissions to the table) then inserted some
values into the table. Fine. That worked too. Then, however, we tried
to revoke those privileges:
revoke insert on foo from group groupx;
That command did not return an error, rather it said CHANGE!!!! (without
the exclamation marks, of course). However, afterward, I was still able
to insert into the table. What gives?
Also, another question:
How do you check to see exactly who has permissions to any particular
table?
Thanks in advance,
Bob Dusek

from psql, you can enter \z and see them, but I don't know
about from libpq.
