[ovirt-devel] Fwd: [IMPORTANT] Implementing materialized views

[Martin Perina]

Hello,

to make things completely clear: any developer which will perform any
changes around permissions tables need to use only predefined stored
procedures for permissions handling. If for some reason direct SQL update
is performed, then materialized view will not be refreshed until some
permission stored procedure is called, which could cause strange results.

Eli has already removed all such code within patch [3], so this is just a
warning for future.

Thanks

Martin
