It seems to me that it would be a lot better to have an example in contrib that does something which might be of actual use to users, such as running a shell command and reading the passphrase from stdout. Features that are only accessible by writing C code are, in general, not as desirable as features which can be accessed via SQL or configuration. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
