Hello !

Very good, thanks !

I've just not understood, when I have to write a function to test sql code
and when I can do it interactively.

Your shown function compiles and works, but I do not have the
result in the logs [altough I see th executing function with
my settings to 'debug' ;-) ].

Will just configure the logging tomorrow, that way, that the
stronger ones are going to the syslog.

Right, it's not actually SQL, so you can't use it in plain SQL. It is part
of the plpgsql procedural language.

So you could easily create a small stored procedure, for example:

create function myraise(msg varchar, id varchar) returns void as $$ begin
raise notice '%: %', msg, id;
end; $$ language plpgsql;

and call that from SQL:

select myraise ('mymsg', '1234');
