Considering the skill level of the users I don't think that they
explicitly used any perl function. So the only remaining perl stuff are
the triggers that I mentioned earlier. There are two triggers in the
database to which the users were connected (see
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2007-11/msg00245.php).
There are three more triggers in other databases which might have an impact:
=============================
if ($_TD->{argc} != 1) {
elog(ERROR, 'do_fast_export_log() needs the table\'s
primary key as sole argument, multiple keys are not yet supported.');
}
my $table = $_TD->{table_name};
my $id = $_TD->{old}{$_TD->{args}[0]};
while (my ($col, $value) = each %{$_TD->{old}}) {
my $oldVal = $_TD->{old}{$col};
my $newVal = $_TD->{new}{$col};
$oldVal =~ s/'/''/g;
$oldVal =~ s/\t/\\\\t/g;
$newVal =~ s/'/''/g;
$newVal =~ s/\t/\\\\t/g;
if ($oldVal ne $newVal) {
my $data = "$id\t$table\t$col\t$oldVal\t$newVal";
my $query = spi_exec_query("insert into
fast_export(data) values(E'$data')");
}
}
spi_exec_query("notify fast_export");
return;
=============================
elog(ERROR, 'store_session_user needs the field name as argument.')
if $_TD->{argc} < 1;
my ($field) = @{$_TD->{args}};
elog(ERROR, "Field '$field' does not exist in target table.\n")
unless exists $_TD->{new}{$field};
my $query = spi_exec_query('SELECT session_user', 1);
$_TD->{new}{$field} = $query->{rows}[0]{session_user};
return 'MODIFY';
=============================
if ($_TD->{argc} > 0) {
foreach (@{$_TD->{args}}) {
$_TD->{new}{$_} = $_TD->{old}{$_}
if exists $_TD->{old}{$_};
}
return 'MODIFY';
}
else {
return;
}
=============================

Christian
