Subject: pgsql: Check for USAGE privilege on the composite type in ALTER TABLE O
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 13:41:29 +0000
Message-ID: <E1wtQFt-00000000yHJ-3XDa@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Check for USAGE privilege on the composite type in ALTER TABLE OF.

This omission allowed roles without USAGE on a type to create
tables that depend on it, which could prevent the owner from
changing the type later.
