Hey List,
would it be considered safe to use plpythonu for a production database?
What would be the limitations/ dangers?
They are explained here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/interactive/plpython.html
"PL/Python is only available as an "untrusted" language, meaning it does
not offer any way of restricting what users can do in it and is
therefore named plpythonu. A trusted variant plpython might become
available in the future if a secure execution mechanism is developed in
Python. The writer of a function in untrusted PL/Python must take care
that the function cannot be used to do anything unwanted, since it will
be able to do anything that could be done by a user logged in as the
database administrator. Only superusers can create functions in
untrusted languages such as plpythonu."
Thanks,
Cheers,
