Currently, if a variable is commented out, it keeps the

previous uncommented value until a server restarted.

o %Allowpg_hba.conf settings to becontrolled viaSQL

o %Allowper-database permissions to beset viaGRANT

This would add a function to load the SQL table from

pg_hba.conf, and one to writes its contents to the flat file.

The table should have a line number that is a float so rows

can be inserted between existing rows, e.g. row 2.5 goes

between row 2 and row 3.

Allow database connection checks based on GRANT rules in

addition to the existing access checks in pg_hba.conf.

o Allow pg_hba.conf to specify host names along with IP addresses
