[Firebird-docs] UdfAccess config parameter - possible problems

[Helen B. <he...@tp...>]

Dmitry,

In working through firebird.conf, I have come across 2 possible problems 
with the syntax for UdfAccess.

First, existing documentation insists that the width of a config file entry 
may not exceed 80 characters per line, including whitespace.  I think MOST 
UdfAccess entries would exceed 80, perhaps quite considerably.

Previously, we had external_file_directory parameter entry per line, and 
even that was pushing the 80-character limit in some cases.  The new syntax 
requires a colon-separated list in addition to other pieces of syntax, + 
spaces...

Second, I see in the file that relative paths are allowed.  I am quite sure 
it was agreed by most people that relative paths were not a safe idea and 
that all path addressing would be absolute.

Comments please.

Thks
Helen
