Обсуждение: how to create a limited user

Hi, i have a question:

I have a database and i want to create a administrator user with total
control and another that only could make queries and could not see nor
modify the functions.

The reason is that in the database that i will distribute are the
functions with a big part of the software logics and i do not want
these to be seen by my customers.

Thanks in advance, Guillermo

Did you even look for the information on postgresql.org?

basically - you're out of luck. as long as you use pl/pgsql source is in
pg_catalog, and everybody can read it.
you might use another languages (like pl/perlu, or even c) and put the
code outside of sql access.
