| Subject: | Test-TempDatabase is by Itself Dangerous |
Test-TempDatabase is dangerous. It is a test module but requires
PostgreSQL superuser privilege. Running potentially-may-have-bug test
suites with superuser privilege is out of mind.
This is especially true for us CPAN testers. We CPAN testers run tests
for tens of unknown modules per day from all over the world. Not
knowing what module we are testing but requiring us to grant a superuser
privilege, is insane.
It is more reasonable to ask the PostgreSQL group to add a “create
temporarily database” non-superuser privilege than using this module.
