This has come up before: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-06/msg00721.php That particular thread died off when we realized that the complained-of usage never worked anyway. But we didn't thoroughly discuss the question of whether there are any significant cases where it makes sense to be able to LOAD a file that contains no PG-specific code whatsoever. I'm inclined to think not --- at least, not significant enough that we should destroy the usefulness of the magic-block check to let this work. It could be debated though. Does anyone have any more-compelling examples? regards, tom lane
