pg_init_privs
#
The catalog pg_init_privs
records information about
the initial privileges of objects in the system. There is one entry
for each object in the database which has a non-default (non-NULL)
initial set of privileges.
Objects can have initial privileges either by having those privileges set
when the system is initialized (by initdb) or when the
object is created during a CREATE EXTENSION
and the
extension script sets initial privileges using the GRANT
system. Note that the system will automatically handle recording of the
privileges during the extension script and that extension authors need
only use the GRANT
and REVOKE
statements in their script to have the privileges recorded. The
privtype
column indicates if the initial privilege was
set by initdb or during a
CREATE EXTENSION
command.
Objects which have initial privileges set by initdb will
have entries where privtype
is
'i'
, while objects which have initial privileges set
by CREATE EXTENSION
will have entries where
privtype
is 'e'
.
