I understand the motivation, but I'm also a bit worried about allowing glob patterns in paths searched for extension files. Just a thought, but another approach would be to allow symlinks to extension installation directories either in the existing extension file search directories or in a separate directory added to the search path. That would likely require PostgreSQL to recognize a somewhat different extension file layout than it currently assumes, though. Regards, -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center
