According to the documentation, the filename given in file_fdw must be an absolute path. Hwever, it works perfectly fine with a relative path.
So either the documentation is wrong, or the code is wrong. It behaves the same at least back to 9.5, I did not try it further back than that. I can't find a reference to the code that limits this. AFAICT the documentation has been there since day 1. Question is, which one is right. Is there a reason we'd want to restrict it to absolute pathnames? -- Magnus Hagander Me: https://www.hagander.net/ <http://www.hagander.net/> Work: https://www.redpill-linpro.com/ <http://www.redpill-linpro.com/>
