Subject: [pgadmin-support] Bug on functionsOS: W2K SP2pgAdmin: 1.4.8When creating a function there are two problems relating to security rights.1) It always adds a GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION blalba.. TO PUBLIC even when I don't add it.
This is PostgreSQL, not pgAdmin. I have raised the issue on pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org and was told:
The default permissions for functions grant execute to public; the system is just instantiating that default when you do an explicit grant.
The original implementation of function permissions didn't grant anything to public, but we concluded that that would break too many applications to be a reasonable default.

2) It doesn't handle secuirty on groups.If I add a group to the secuirty rights pgAdmin complanins. Error in pgAdmin II:frmFunction.Initialise: 13 - Type mismatch. If you go to the secuirty tab it displays nothing under privilages for a group.
This is fixed now. I'll upload a new snapshot when I've looked at the other problems you've logged.
Ps. As an aside, do you know if there is information, a web site etc. on running odbc apps under Linux's wine. I've tried to run pgAdmin and I can't get the odbc stuff to register.
Sorry, don't know of one.
Regards, Dave.
Thanks for that Dave,
you're a STAR when it come to response time. Not use to such fast responses.
I have another question about functions.
Functions in 7.3 support running with the privileges of the creator (SECURITY DEFINER) this is incredibly useful (no more view work-arounds). My question is having created such a function how do I know what privileges it will be run at? The SQL definition doesn't show the SECURITY DEFINER modifier and I don't see it displayed in any form as part of the properties.
Cheers in advance.
Don.
