According to the documentation, the filename given in file_fdw must be an absolute path. Hwever, it works perfectly fine with a relative path.

So either the documentation is wrong, or the code is wrong. It behaves the same at least back to 9.5, I did not try it further back than that.

I can't find a reference to the code that limits this. AFAICT the documentation has been there since day 1.

Question is, which one is right. Is there a reason we'd want to restrict it to absolute pathnames?
