My language handler requires some configuration information to start up, which I would like to get from the file system (but it could be set up by an SQL query SET). Currently I’m using hard-coded paths, which doesn’t seem like a good solution. Is there perhaps a way to get the path that was used to load the DLL? I couldn’t find one in the existing language implementations.
Having got started it then needs to query the database. Is that OK in _PG_init()? Any hints much appreciated. Regards David M Bennett FACS _____ Andl - A New Database Language - andl.org
