Hello,
My hosting provider is unwilling to install postgresql-contrib package,
fearing that it will negatively impact other users, brake their sites, or
security flaws and so on.
Are there any risks involved?
I need pgcrypto digest function. Is there a "no risk" install procedure.
If he installs only the pgcrypto, not the whole contrib package, are there
risks remaining?
Regards.
Andre Felipe
