I agree that the postgres and msft functionality effectively have the same level of permissions required, which is that an admin level user must take specific steps to allow this to occur.
- anarazel 8y agoWell, the comment was in reply to somebody asking for the postgres feature to be locked down similar to MSSQL's - and I think the "FUD" spreading commenter just was trying to explain that it's already similarly locked down. Sure, it could have been a bit more explicit about that, but attacking that as FUD seems mighty strong.
