thats a rather insane bunch of requirements. Reads like a wish list by
academic security researchers.
for instance

??!? The database server has no clue about the difference between an
"application that it supports" and a user directly querying. The PSQL
shell, or dbadmin, is an 'application that it supports'.
at this point, speaking purely as a interested outsider (I am in no way
representing hte PG Development Group), I'd guess PostgreSQL probably
doesn't meet 2/3rds of those 'findings'. I truly wonder if any
standard RDBMS supports all or even most of them?!?
