Hi,
Is it possible to run a shell script, passing values of fields to it, in
a Postgres function ?

Not directly from SQL or PL/pgSQL functions, but you can execute
shell commands with the untrusted versions of PL/Perl, PL/Tcl,
PL/Python, etc. There's even a PL/sh:

Thanks Michael and Jaime. The pg/sh thing is probably what I was
looking for.
Tnx
