This is the 3rd such case that I've heard someone using PostgreSQL to
store MRI images. While it's non-portable (works on FreeBSD/Linux),
sendfile() and recvfile() would be huge wins for folks in that crowd
(or anyone storing/fetching large files). There'd be some large
#ifdef sections (~100 lines?) in the backend, possibly in the fe
('nother ~100 lines), but would patches for this be accepted into the
tree if I did the legwork given sendfile()'s non-universal portability
(which seems to be, IMHO, an overly important criteria)? -sc
