A problem not mentioned already is that if your database contains a C
function and it has a bug which results in a crash, your whole
production database will go down. This may not be desirable.
Well I have the perfect solution for that.... <grin>
I just won't write any buggy code!
Seriously, this could be a problem, especially since there is
3rd party software involved, too. Guess I've opened myself up for some
serious testing procedures. That's a good thing.
Since I'm writing in C++ with a thin interface to C for pg,
I catch a lot of nasty situtations which used to crash my C programs.
