Hi,

can any of the programming languages (perl, tcl) be used to exec a process on 
the server
and open files?

You are looking for untrusted.

For Python that is the only way it comes, hence plpythonu(ntrusted)

For Perl see here:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/plperl-trusted.html

That is all I know about.

The scenario I have in mind would
- copy some fields of a table to an external text file
- have a script generate binary data from the text file

So what exactly does the above step entail?

Just wondering if it could be done without leaving the database?

- load that data into a large object
The client would just
select rebuild()

Best regards
