Hi,
just my two cents worth tho. I'd love having some kind of "internal log
facility", which means being able to do the follwing:
a) using log functions in every place where common SQL is allowed, which
counts for
- selects, updates, inserts, deletes (in transaction blocks)
- triggers
- functions
b) setting a log level
c) setting which log levels (and greater) really get logged
For example:
CREATE FUNCTION foobar RETURNS INTEGER AS '
DECLARE
...
BEGIN
...
IF ...
LOG('executing if-branch in foobar for value = ' || someval, 2);
END IF;
...
...
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
So within any application or psql session one can decide what gets logged
by using:
SET LOGLEVEL TO 1;
which means logging all messages with a level of 1 or higher.
Just a proposal for future enhancement probably. Open for any comments,
requests... what do others think about that debugging possibility?
Kind regards
... Ralph ...
