I wonder if we should take pg_read_file (and the rest of genfile.c) back out of the backend and stick them into contrib/adminpack. The argument for having them in the backend was always pretty weak to me. In particular, a DBA who doesn't want them in his system for security reasons has no simple way to get rid of them if they're in core, but not installing a contrib module is easy enough. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
