Caveats

SQL compliance

This extension differs from the SQL standard in following:

  • SQL syntax for specifying link control options is not supported, use type modifiers and UPDATE datalink.columns instead
  • No URL syntax checking for NO LINK CONTROL datalinks, one can add constraint with is_valid() function
  • INTEGRITY SELECTIVE works somewhat differently, no linking, just checks if file exists and also works for web URLs
  • DLURLSERVER() returns lowercase instead of uppercase server name
  • linked files for INTEGRITY ALL and WRITE ACCESS FS are not protected from renaming or deletion, use WRITE ACCESS BLOCKED
