doing anything useful by revoking all default privileges its
mere presence produces no harm. If you do remove connect, then the only
people who could assume that role would be members who themselves have
connect privilege. It is seemingly pointless to prohibit them from
assuming any of the roles they are a member of on the basis of which
database they are in. In short, yes, the permissions model could be made
more nuanced than its present design. But it isn't, it isn't documented to
be, and your assuming that connect implies non-assumability doesn't seem to
stem from anything the documentation actually says.
David J.
ases, can
assume any roles the user name of the credentials they used are a member
of. Whether that is actually useful or not depends upon grants. But in no
case can you prevent them from, say, examining the database catalog tables,
or executing at least some limited SQL.

There is no difference with replacing 1 with a composite type and the
SELECT subquery with VALUES instead.
Your "VALUES" is just a scalar subquery expression that, if it indeed
produces a single row and column, can be compared to any other scalar value
(if it produces more than one row you will get an error - try it).

Extend the query so all inputs needed to manually write an ALTER TABLE

This wasn’t the question though. Can the second session see the inserted

Supposedly it can (not able to test myself). Basically, the primary waits
to make the local transaction visible until either sync ack or until the
wait for sync ack is cancelled. It doesn’t make sense to make it visible
while waiting for sync ack since that would defeat the very behavior sync
ack provides for.

Yeah, I can see this as a natural consequence of the "column per field"

I mean, while it is indeed "independent of changes to the definition of a
