Re: Extended security/restriction to any role with login access

Look this isn't the point I know what can be done with pg_hba.conf

The main point is:

When I create a postgresql user and grant to it only access to part of a
database (let's say one view). I'm expecting that the server will honor it.
But right now postgresql server isn't.

This is the reason I'm writing here and tried too hackers list but no one
seems to understand the importance of this point.

Maybe it's my fault of knowledge but till now no one showed me how to get
the expected result, people try to tell me how to use firewall, change the
way of build my application, they don't understand the point. I'll repeat it
again:

When I create a postgresql user and grant to it only access to part of a
database (let's say one view). I'm expecting that the server will honor it.
But right now postgresql server isn't.

Actually any user with login access can see all
databases/roles/functions/table-definitions/triggers. What I thinks isn't
correct.

I'll apreciate any solution to this problem.
