long day... the error message sure wasn't helpfull though, i finally figured
that one out... any idea why this doesn't work?

create table vtrcs_co_l
(
relname text,
who name default current_user,
time timestamp(0) without time zone default current_timestamp,

primary key (relname),
foreign key (relname)
references btrel (relname),

constraint c0 check
(has_table_privilege(username, relname, 'update'))
);

it creates the table, but an insert of

insert into vtrcs_co_l values('parameter');

fails with

ERROR: text_oid: error in "parameter": can't parse "parameter"

which is very odd since

select has_table_privilege('parameter', current_user, current_timestamp);

does not. incidentally

insert into vtrcs_co_l values('parameter', current_user, current_timestamp);

fails as well with the same error.

thanks.
