That doesn't sound the least bit encouraging and as the application is for
legal case management and this particular functionality is for maintaining
legal documents, allowing such security holes is a bad idea. I'm now
wondering if the PHP functions suffer from the same security risks.
Are there any issues like this using the client side libpq.dll? Is it
necessary to install the entire postgresql client package on the NTs or can I
get by with just libpq.dll? I note that it imports from only WSOCK32.dll and
KERNEL32.dll, but as I've mentioned, my knowledge of C is minimal.
