Good Morning All,

I am using PostgreSQL 9.3 on Linux Rehat...

I'm trying to insert an image (.png format) into a table of flags.  I've tried the following but keep getting errors.

CREATE TABLE FLAGS (country_code text, flag bytea);

INSERT INTO flags VALUES ('AD', pg_read_file('/home/flags')::bytea);

Get the following error:
ERROR:   absolute path not allowed
*********ERROR*************
ERROR:  absolute path not allowed
SQL State:  42501

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/functions-admin.html#FUNCTIONS-ADMIN-GENFILE

use pg_read_binary_file(filename text [, offset bigint, length bigint]) as documented
