X-Git-Tag: REL_11_BETA1~1176 X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=87c2a17fee784c7e1004ba3d3c5d8147da676783;p=postgresql Doc: add a summary table to the CREATE POLICY docs. This table summarizes which RLS policy expressions apply to each command type, and whether they apply to the old or new tuples (or both), which saves reading through a lot of text.
