There are no privileges on databases per se. There are only host-based
access privileges that may apply to all or some databases.

The difficulty with putting the control over this into the SQL environment
is two-fold:

1) You have a bootstrapping problem, because how are you going to set
these privileges if you can't connect?

2) You don't necessarily want to start up a new backend for every rogue
connection attempt.

So we're mostly stuck with what we have.
