47.39. pg_seclabel

Note: The following description applies both to Postgres-XC and PostgreSQL if not described explicitly. You can read PostgreSQL as Postgres-XC except for version number, which is specific to each product.

The catalog pg_seclabel stores security labels on database objects. Security labels can be manipulated with the SECURITY LABEL command. For an easier way to view security labels, see Section 47.68.

See also pg_shseclabel, which performs a similar function for security labels of database objects that are shared across a database cluster.
