Hopefully what I'm asking is fairly obvious. But is it possible? I can imagine some fairly unwiedly ways to do this involving preprocessing, but would involve jumping through lots of hoops, and I'd hope for a cleaner solution. Environment variables seems the obvious "Unixy" approach...
Surely people have hit this problem before? How's it solved?
See plr_environ() in PL/R's pg_userfunc.c. You could probably rip it out and use it standalone with reasonable ease (or perhaps modify it to return a single requested environment variable).
Use it like this:
select value from plr_environ() where name = 'MANPATH';
value
---------------------------
/usr/local/pgsql-dev/man:
(1 row)Joe
