RAISE NOTICE has been mentioned. Apart from the possibility to write file I/O functions in Perl, there are some functions that are already included in PostgreSQL: pg_read_file and pg_stat_file. The contrib module "adminpack" provides pg_file_write, pg_file_rename, pg_file_unlink. Together these are enough for simple file system access, although they don't provide as much as UTL_FILE.
