The "Managing Databases" section of the Administrator's Guide says that
absolute DB paths introduce a security risk.

The CREATE DATABASE documentation says that there are security *AND* data
integrity issues involved with absolute DB paths.

Maybe I'm just not devious enough, but I can't figure out what the risks
are.  Can anyone enlighten me?

Also, why are relative DB paths completely disallowed.  I can see that you
would have to store the location relative to the cluster's path, but I must
be missing something here too.  Thanks for any ideas.
