We were using ALL, successfully but incorrectly, and are now using
USER, successfully.
Not a named constraint trigger as you did. Could it be ALL implicitly
excludes such constraint triggers, when not SUPERUSER? And thus, as
the table owner, ALL == USER, implicitly? If that's the case, then the
doc still needs clarifications IMHO. --DD
