Basically, we have no information about what the proper parameters of external languages would be. (We have some pretty good ideas, but that's not the same.) Especially if we override the trusted/untrustedness, we could create complete disaster. Ultimately, as we add more loadable facilities (languages, plugins/modules, foreign-data wrappers), we will need a better upgrade mechanism anyway than maintaining our own override list of everything in the world. So let's just leave this mechanism restricted to the built-in languages for now. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
