Can you guarantee unequivocally that there are absolutely not security
issues in plpgsql?
Can you guarantee unequivocally that there are absolutely not security
issues in PostgreSQL?
I believe Tom's point is that it is not possible to do so, and, since
plpgsql isn't something that all applications need/use, it isn't
something that needs to be 'loaded by default' ... its like loading
mod_perl in apache for an application that only uses PHP ... you can do
it, but why bother?
Well.... many distributions do but no it is not the same. plPGSQL is the
default procedural language for PostgreSQL. It is not a contrib module,
and it is built by default. So why not install it by default to make it
just one step easier for our community?
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
If Tom could cite any security issues with plpgsql, he would have
probably fixed it by now ... but I don't believe he'd go out on a limb
and state that there weren't any either ...
