PostgreSQL expiration date management functions

Description

This project tries to find a way to allow users the management of the VALID UNTIL expiration clause by themself. All without granting super permissions and having a histoc of changes on a pseudo-audit table

Instructions

First deploy

Deploy passchanger.sql on the desired cluster/database.

It will:

• create a dba schema
• create a dba role
• Grant the minimum permissions for this new role so the whole thing works
• Create the 2 needed functions and grant permissions on them to dba

Allowing users to use that functions

Take the file grants_to_grant.sql and modify the username dodger so it match the username that should have the permissions. Execute the grants on the cluster/database you have deployed passchanger.sql
