Greetings all,
having a permission issue with writing a file using plpython

even changed the
owner to postgres. but no joy, any suggestions?
plpython is a "trusted" langauge. That means pgsql trusts it
not to
allow you to break out of the sandbox and interact directly with
the
file system or the database server internals.
If you need to do those things, you can use plpythonu.
My understanding is that of Postgres 7.4 plpython does not exist.
In other words only the untrusted version is available.
... and that's because Python's design - in particular, the
introspection features - means the the restricted mode wasn't
particularly restricted. See
