However it took me a long time to figure out what i was doing wrong. The problem was the following: Inside of my dynamically loaded user functions i tried to write some standard UNIX-files, which were designed for non-postgres use. That didn't work. The final solution of this problem is, that during execution of my user-defined function, these were owned by "postgres" and not by "me". The effect was that the backend couldn't write to my homedirectory, which had the standard rights rwxr-xr-x (755). So i changed the rights to 777 and all was OK. This is not very nice because now everyone can access my directory, but that's another problem. Bye Wolf
