Some thoughts: We should keep the GRANT reference page about GRANT. There is a section about Privileges in the Data Definition chapter, which we could use to expand on general concepts. The ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES reference page would be another place this could be put. The Owner column is redundant, because it's always all applicable privileges. (Having this column would give the impression that it's not always all privileges, so it would be confusing.) Privileges should be listed using their full name (e.g., "SELECT"), not their internal abbreviation letter. The psql commands seem out of place here. If you want to learn about how to use psql, you can go to the psql documentation. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
