So, this will remove the relacl field from pg_class, making pg_class
a fixed tuple-length table: that might actually speed access: there

-Peter E. posted his proposal for the revamping of the
-authentication/security system a few weeks ago. There was a
-discussion, but I don't know if he came to any definitive
-conclusions, such as implementing System Privileges as well as Object
-Privileges. If he does, then the dba (or anyone who has been granted
-GRANT ANY PRIVILEGE system privilege & CREATE USER system privilege)
-should be able to do:
-
-CREATE USER mascarm IDENTIFIED BY manager;
-GRANT CREATE TABLE to mascarm;
-
-It would also be good if PostgreSQL came with 2 groups by default -
-connect and dba.
-
-The connect group would be granted these System Privileges:
-
-CREATE AGGREGATE privilege
-CREATE INDEX privilege
-CREATE FUNCTION privilege
-CREATE OPERATOR privilege
-CREATE RULE privilege
-CREATE SESSION privilege
-CREATE SYNONYM privilege
-CREATE TABLE privilege
-CREATE TRIGGER privilege
-CREATE TYPE privilege
-CREATE VIEW privilege
-
-These allow the user to create the above objects in their own schema
-only. We're getting schemas in 7.2, right? ;-).
-
-The dba group would be granted the rest, like these:
-
-CREATE ANY AGGREGATE privilege
-CREATE ANY INDEX privilege...
-(and so on)
-
-as well as:
-
-CREATE/ALTER/DROP USER
-GRANT ANY PRIVILEGE
-COMMENT ANY TABLE
-INSERT ANY TABLE
-UPDATE ANY TABLE
-DELETE ANY TABLE
-SELECT ANY TABLE
-ANALYZE ANY TABLE
-LOCK ANY TABLE
-CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM (needed when schemas roll around)
-DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM
-(and so on)
-
-Then, the dba could do a:
-
-GRANT connect TO mascarm;
-
-Or a:
-
-CREATE USER mascarm
-IDENTIFIED BY manager
-IN GROUP connect;
-
-It seems Karel's patch is a solution to the problem of people who
-want to create separate PostgreSQL user accounts, but want to ensure
-that a user can't create tables. In Oracle, I would just do a:
-
-CREATE USER mascarm
-IDENTIFIED BY manager;
-
-GRANT CREATE SESSION TO mascarm;
-
-Now mascarm has the ability to connect, but that's it.
-
-Currently, if I know for instance that a background process DROPS a
-table, CREATES a new one, and then imports some data, I can create my
-own table by the same name, in between the DROP and CREATE and can
-cause havoc (if its not done in a single transaction). Hopefully
-Peter E's ACL design will allow for Oracle-like System Privileges to
-take place. That would allow for a much finer granularity of
-permissions then everyone either being the Unix equivalent of 'root'
-or 'user'.
-
-Just my humble opinion though,
-

-If we keep it like others (e.g. Informix) this System Privilege would be called
-"resource". I like this name better, because it more describes the detailed
-priviledges.

-The "connect" group would only have the priviledge to connect to the db [and
