What I don't like about relying on GRANT is that the table owner gets to
bypass all that, as does a superuser. So when I'm serious about an
operation (insert, update or delete) not happening on something, I put a
trigger in place. Obviously a table owner or SU can always disable that,
but they can't do it accidentally. I would love the ability to restrict
operations both at a table and a column level.

BTW, John, you mentioned RULEs elsewhere... be very careful about using
those. They're incredibly easy to get wrong and generally not worth the
trouble.
