Fw: Feature idea
You know I didn't even think about that, duh. I was thinking of using it
inside a function where the password could be obtained on the database
server itself somehow, avoiding the need to pass any passwords from the web
application and simplifying a rather complicated permission structure we
have where we have anonymous users that need insert rights on a whole bunch
of different schema's.

What if SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION could also accept a password so that

be?
Well, the password would go over the wire unencrypted, causing a
