Re: Raise Notice - Mailing list pgsql-novice

Hi,

Basically i am dealing with triggers which addresses referential integrity,
lets take a delete restrict case,  I have a parent table - "del2", child -
"del1"

when i try to delete a record from del2 it should perform following steps.

begin
perform lookup in del2
    if found then
      perform lookup in del1
        if found then
            restrict delete
       else
            delete from del2
        end if
     else
          message " no record found"
     end if
end

While posting i removed a few lines concerning delete restrict and just
placed raise notice query. SO in the end what i look for is a proper message
instead of "DELETE 0". Hope you get what i was looking for, by the way what
do you mean by dont post in HTML ?

Cheers
Prasad.
