Does the "now" imply you are thinking about adding alias handling via DB to other authentication methods as well? *drool*

Well, eventually. I don't see many people doing it. A lot of people are doing it via LDAP, which is why it's there.

How can you see people using SQL alias handling if it isn't available? Mmm, maybe you refer to auth. Either way, I think that SQL alias is a must for a complete SQL backend.

The past couple of weeks I thought about writing a feature request for this. It is the one thing that keeps me from moving to a SQL DB backend for authentication.

This is separate from authentication. It's basically a separate table, listing the aliases. Given a carefully-designed schema you could, perhaps, implement both functionalities with a single table.
