Bare does that by meaning two things at once: access laid bare, and SQL stripped down to the part every engine agrees on.</p> <p>The first sense belongs to BareSQL Audit. To lay something bare is to take the covers off and show what’s underneath. In a PostgreSQL database the covers are the layers between a login and a column: roles inside roles, grants made years ago to a group nobody remembers, views that read tables with their owner’s rights, functions that run as someone else. The audit takes those layers apart and lists, for each login, every column it can read and the route that gets it there.</p>
