Hi there,

Is it possible to execute a system command from a function ? (e.g. bash )

TIA,
Sabin

If you use one of the untrusted procedural languages (e.g. plperlu,  
plpythonu, ...) you can.

Yes, of course, but you need an untrusted language like pl/perlU oder
plsh. http://plsh.projects.postgresql.org/
