Re: Looking for auto starting procedures

Hello !

a)

The idea with to test a RAISE statement with an prefix, could
be good. But I am just that new, I could not make it working.
I have not understand, where I can issue direct sql statements
and it looks like, the RAISE is not possible with plSql:

mbtest=# RAISE NOTICE 'mynotice: %', 'hello';
ERROR: syntax error at or near "RAISE"
LINE 1: RAISE NOTICE 'mynotice: %', 'hello';

b)

Yes, good idea to modify the startup script!

Am I missing something you require, or would this do it:

raise notice 'mynotice: %', some_id;

I've actually wanted that as well ;-) But it's not that hard to arrange for
your script that starts the PG server to also run some SQL after the server
launch.
