Обсуждение: column level, uid based authorization to update columns
In linux, given the linux based uid of the user, how might someone implement column level update restrictions on a uid basis? For example...
create table foo (strcol varchar(256), intcol integer);
Now, I want linux processes runing under uid “joesmith” to be able to update strcol but not intcol. Some other user could update intcol but not strcol. Others could update both, others neither. I’m also willing to give you a table that maps all uids to the columns they can update, something you could ref in a constraint or update trigger or something. So that might be something like...
create table foo_auth (uid varchar(256), cols text[]);
insert into foo_auth (uid,cols) values (‘joesmith’,’{‘strcol’}’);
insert into foo_auth (uid,cols) values (‘jillbrown’,’{‘intcol’}’);
insert into foo_auth (uid,cols) values (‘thedba’,’{‘strcol’,’intcol’}’);
Thanks in Advance !

You can use ident authentication in pg_hba.conf and per-column GRANT/REVOKE in 8.4. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-grant.html Cheers, David. -- David Fetter <david@fetter.org> http://fetter.org/ Phone: +1 415 235 3778 AIM: dfetter666 Yahoo!: dfetter Skype: davidfetter XMPP: david.fetter@gmail.com Remember to vote!

The first issue is getting the linux uid to equate to a PG role. That
can be done using 'ident' authentication, though I would recommend only
allowing that on socket-based connections (not with tcp/ip connections).
You could also give 'joeuser' a username and password to connect to PG
with.
In PG, with 8.4, you can use column-level privileges to limit what a
given PG role can do. See the GRANT syntax for 8.4.
