This would avoid my allergy to the idea of storing an absolute-ified path, which I'm still down on because it would have failure modes of its own. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
