darold / external_file Goto Github PK

The documentation states that '/' and '\' are forbidden for security reasons. We are looking into transfering a huge archive of bfiles from oracle to postgres. These bfiles are organised as a number of directories with in each directory a hierarchy 'env/year/month/file'. I would expect that '..' would be forbidden instead of the path separator.

Good day!

When installing the extension, I encountered an error:

/bin/install: cannot stat ‘.//README.external_file’: No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

The error is caused by a missing file README.external_file in repository. As I understand it, the content of this file was meant to be similar to the README.md file.
As a solution to this problem, I propose to add in the Makefile the creation of the desired file from README.md:

all: prepare_readme

prepare_readme: README.md
	@echo "Prepare README.external_file"
	cp README.md README.external_file

The whole Makefile will look like this:

#MODULES = external_file
EXTENSION = external_file
DATA = external_file--1.0.sql
DOCS = README.external_file

PG_CONFIG = pg_config
PGXS := $(shell $(PG_CONFIG) --pgxs)
include $(PGXS)

all: prepare_readme

prepare_readme: README.md
	@echo "Prepare README.external_file"
	cp README.md README.external_file
