Thread: Connected user in a triggerfunction
Hi list, We are using logging in a database based on triggers and plpgsql functions. This works OK. However, we want deletes to be recorded too, and there we want the user who connected to be recorded in the log. So, how can I get the connected user in a triggerfunction? Cheers, Dick Kniep

Use SESSION_USER or CURRENT_USER. They're usually the same but see the documentation for how they can differ: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/functions-info.html -- Michael Fuhr
