What about it? The case of /usr/local/../../.. is handled correctly, and the case where it's an underspecified relative path doesn't seem that interesting to me --- certainly that is not so important that we should get the wrong answer on cases that *are* plausible. Most of the uses of canonicalize_path are on paths that are required to be absolute, anyway. It wouldn't be too implausible to error out if pending_strips>0 after exiting the loop. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
