EDB xDB need pg_authid.rolcatupdate ?

PostgreSQL 9.5以前的版本，pg_authid有个字段rolcatupdate，用来标记用户是否有更新catalog的权限。 如果rolcatupdate=false，即使是超级用户也不能更新catalog。
但是在9.5以后，这个字段被删掉了，如下commit：

Remove rolcatupdate

This role attribute is an ancient PostgreSQL feature, but could only be
set by directly updating the system catalogs, and it doesn't have any
clearly defined use.

因此你在9.5的版本看不到pg_authid的字段rolcatupdate了。
然而EDB有个用来增量同步Oracle, PostgreSQL数据的工具xDB，这个工具需要用到这个权限，更新pg_class.relhastriggers字段来禁用触发器。
例子：

digoal=# create table tab(id int);
CREATE TABLE
digoal=# create or replace function tg() returns trigger as 
$$

digoal$# declare
digoal$# begin
digoal$#   raise notice 'trigged';
digoal$#   return null;
digoal$# end;
digoal$# 
$$
 language plpgsql strict;
CREATE FUNCTION
digoal=# create trigger tg after insert on tab for each row execute procedure tg();
CREATE TRIGGER
digoal=# insert into tab values (1);
NOTICE:  trigged
INSERT 0 1

更新pg_class.relhastriggers = false，就看不到这个触发器了。

digoal=# update pg_class set relhastriggers =false where relname='tab';
UPDATE 1
digoal=# insert into tab values (1);
INSERT 0 1
digoal=# insert into tab values (2);
INSERT 0 1
digoal=# insert into tab values (3);
INSERT 0 1
digoal=# \d+ tab
                         Table "public.tab"
 Column |  Type   | Modifiers | Storage | Stats target | Description 
--------+---------+-----------+---------+--------------+-------------
 id     | integer |           | plain   |              | 

digoal=# update pg_class set relhastriggers =true where relname='tab';
UPDATE 1
digoal=# \d+ tab
                         Table "public.tab"
 Column |  Type   | Modifiers | Storage | Stats target | Description 
--------+---------+-----------+---------+--------------+-------------
 id     | integer |           | plain   |              | 
Triggers:
    tg AFTER INSERT ON tab FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE tg()

使用这种语法也可禁用触发器

digoal=# alter table tab disable trigger tg;
ALTER TABLE
digoal=# \d+ tab
                         Table "public.tab"
 Column |  Type   | Modifiers | Storage | Stats target | Description 
--------+---------+-----------+---------+--------------+-------------
 id     | integer |           | plain   |              | 
Disabled user triggers:
    tg AFTER INSERT ON tab FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE tg()

这种方法禁用触发器实际上是改动pg_trigger.tgenabled

digoal=# \d pg_trigger
       Table "pg_catalog.pg_trigger"
     Column     |     Type     | Modifiers 
----------------+--------------+-----------

Indexes:
    "pg_trigger_oid_index" UNIQUE, btree (oid)
    "pg_trigger_tgrelid_tgname_index" UNIQUE, btree (tgrelid, tgname)
    "pg_trigger_tgconstraint_index" btree (tgconstraint)

digoal=# insert into tab values (2);
INSERT 0 1
digoal=# alter table tab enable trigger tg;
ALTER TABLE
digoal=# insert into tab values (2);
NOTICE:  trigged
INSERT 0 1

赋予普通用户alter table enable|disable trigger的权限

digoal=# grant trigger on table tab to digoal;
GRANT
digoal=# \c digoal digoal
digoal=# alter table tab disable trigger tg;
ALTER TABLE
