type definition. Because use of a type's I/O conversion functions isn't access-checked, CREATE TYPE amounts to granting public execute permissions on the functions, and so allowing it to anybody means that someone could theoretically gain access to a function he's not supposed to be able to execute. The parameter-type restrictions already enforced by CREATE TYPE make it fairly unlikely that this oversight is meaningful in practice, but still it seems like a good idea to plug the hole going forward. Also, document the implicit grant just in case anybody gets the idea of building I/O functions that might need security restrictions. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. The JDBC, ODBC, C++, Python, and Tcl interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance. A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
