When an operation is done throug a SECURITY DEFINER style function and
causes a trigger the current_user depends on whether it is executed BEFORE
or AFTER. I currently run 7.3.2. I believe the BEFORE behavior is correct
while the AFTER behavior is wrong. A bug? already fixed?

regards,

Aasmund.

CREATE TABLE a (b text);

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.ut () RETURNS TRIGGER SECURITY INVOKER
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' AS'
DECLARE
t TEXT;
t2 TEXT;
BEGIN
t := current_user;
t2 := session_user;
RAISE NOTICE ''% Current: % Session: %'', TG_WHEN, t, t2;
RETURN NEW;
END
';

CREATE TRIGGER "ut_trig_before" BEFORE UPDATE OR INSERT OR DELETE
ON a FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE public.ut();

CREATE TRIGGER "ut_trig_after" AFTER UPDATE OR INSERT OR DELETE
ON a FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE public.ut();

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.at_test () RETURNS TEXT SECURITY DEFINER
LANGUAGE 'sql' AS'
INSERT INTO a VALUES (current_user);
SELECT session_user::TEXT || ''/'' ||current_user::TEXT;
';

db=> SELECT at_test();
NOTICE: BEFORE Current: godal Session: www
NOTICE: AFTER Current: www Session: www
at_test
