I'm running Pg v7.3.4
I have a function where I need to determine the current user.
But since the function was created with option "SECURITY DEFINER"
(it has to be this way) current_user returns the name of creator,
rather than current user.
Is there a way in such function find out the real current user?
Thanks,
Mike.
