From 3abb56b17562e626bc18dc83818905e9dd84d50e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Berg Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 17:39:43 +0900 Subject: [PATCH v3] psql: Allow pg_read_all_stats to see database size in \l+ pg_database_size() allows access to users who have either CONNECT privilege on the target database or membership in the pg_read_all_stats role. However, previously, psql's \l+ checked only for CONNECT, so users with pg_read_all_stats still saw "No Access" for databases they could not connect to. Fix this by making \l+ also check pg_has_role('pg_read_all_stats', 'USAGE'), matching pg_database_size()'s permission rules. For back branches, emit the pg_read_all_stats check only when connected to PostgreSQL 10 or later, since earlier releases do not have that predefined role. Backpatch to all supported versions. --- doc/src/sgml/ref/psql-ref.sgml | 5 +++-- src/bin/psql/describe.c | 4 ++++ 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/src/sgml/ref/psql-ref.sgml b/doc/src/sgml/ref/psql-ref.sgml index ca3b3db59c8..49c5dd648e3 100644 --- a/doc/src/sgml/ref/psql-ref.sgml +++ b/doc/src/sgml/ref/psql-ref.sgml @@ -2571,8 +2571,9 @@ SELECT only databases whose names match the pattern are listed.
