I don't think we want random Perl code running inside the postmaster, no matter what the API to cause it is. I might hold my nose for "on load" code if it can only run in backends, though I still say that it's a badly designed concept because of the uncertainty about who will run what when. Shlib load time is not an event that ought to be user-visible. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
