Subject: pgsql: doc: Granting TRIGGER or REFERENCES on table is dangerous.
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 18:08:24 +0000
Message-ID: <E1wlsPg-000000003dl-3u33@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
doc: Granting TRIGGER or REFERENCES on table is dangerous.
It's always been the case that granting these privileges to users that
you don't fully trust was a bad idea, but it hasn't always been
obvious to people reading the documentation that this is the case.
To prevent confusion, and also repeated reports to pgsql-security,
mention it explicitly.
