I also love Veil¹. A lot of applications I write are LOB apps with a lot of contorted ACLs on rows. For example a user with role "Secretary" can view all calendar entries of her department, but not those of other departments, and a user with role "User" can only see the calendar entries of his office mates. With Veil I can implement those access rules on the database once, and they are applied to all frontends for the data (web apps, desktop apps and mobile apps) ¹http://veil.projects.postgresql.org/curdocs/index.html http://veil.projects.postgresql.org/curdocs/index.html
