http://www.postgresql.org/ *click Docs on top of page*
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/ * click PostgreSQL static
documentation *

Search this document set: [ SECURITY INVOKER ] Search!

http://www.postgresql.org/search.cgi?ul=http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/&q=SECURITY+INVOKER

I loaded that URL on IE and I wait like 2 minutes or more for a response.
then, it usually returns with 1 result. I click the Search! button again
to refresh and it came back a little faster with 0 results?

Searched again from the top and it's a little faster now:

* click search *
> date
Wed Dec 31 22:52:01 CST 2003

* results come back *
> date
Wed Dec 31 22:52:27 CST 2003

Still one result:

PostgreSQL 7.4 Documentation (SQL Key Words)
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/sql-keywords-appendix.html>
[*0.087%*]
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/sql-keywords-appendix.html
Size: 65401 bytes, modified: Tue, 25 Nov 2003, 15:02:33 AST

However, the page that I SHOULD have found was this one:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-createfunction.html

That page has SECURITY INVOKER in a whole section:

[EXTERNAL] SECURITY INVOKER
[EXTERNAL] SECURITY DEFINER

SECURITY INVOKER indicates that the function is to be executed with
the privileges of the user that calls it. That is the default.
SECURITY DEFINER specifies that the function is to be executed with
the privileges of the user that created it.
