The attached patch fixes a couple of minor issues in the file access functions added for 8.1. These seem to have been introduced in recent changes following the original patch.
1) Stop them rejecting paths that use Windows backslash directory seperators. 2) Allow absolute paths to files into the data dir, as we already do for the log dir. This allows queries like the following to work: select pg_stat_file((select setting from pg_settings where name = 'config_file')); Without, a relative path must be constructed which is obviously non-trivial in SQL. Please apply for beta 2. Regards, Dave
