Lately I've been planning work on a patch to postgres and linux on my
system to allow access to BLOBs as a virtual filesystem, so I can see
any file I put in there even through network shares while avoiding
duplication / broken link issues. Does this sound like something worth
doing / is there a better way to safely reference files from both inside
and outside postgres?
I have been looking into using the Tcl VFS features for this kind of thing. I work with AOLserver and PostgreSQL so I have Tcl and PostgreSQL available to me.

I haven't thought about accessing the VFS from inside PostgreSQL though.
