pg_options in postgres 7.3.2

Hi,

I’m wondering if this pg_options “option” works in 7.3.2? I dropped the following script

verbose=2

query=4

hostlookup

showportnumber

as $PGDATA/pg_options and then rehupped with pg_ctl ...

but I cannot find any output anywhere.

Any helps or tips or “dahs” would be appreciated.

What I’m trying to do is see under my function PL/pgsql function call to see what’s wrong ... what tools do

people use to debug their PL/pgsql. I can’t seem to find very many. Is there a dbms_output equivalent, for instance?

Thanks,

Dick Wieland
