Hi folks There's no mention anywhere in `SET ROLE` of the ability of `DISCARD ALL` to reset the role to default. Ditto `SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION`. That's pretty important, since an app that wants to allow arbitrary SQL to be executed as an assumed user identity might be guarding against "RESET ROLE", "SET ROLE", etc statements but not know to watch for "DISCARD". Sure, it's a bad idea to accept arbitrary SQL from a client, and filtering it is never going to be perfect, but it's clear when looking at things like discussion of RESET ROLE in SECURITY DEFINER functions that this is something people do and is a concern. BTW, it'd be *really* nice if there were a way to: SET ROLE some_role RESET_COOKIE 'random-garbage'; that prevented RESET ROLE without supplying a RESET_COOKIE. Ditto again for `SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION`. For that matter it'd be helpful even to have a "NORESET" option that made it like a priv drop, where DISCARD ALL, RESET ROLE, RESET SESSION AUTHORIZATION etc after a SET ROLE somebody NORESET or SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION somebody NORESET just did nothing. -- Craig Ringer
