Обсуждение: Debug plpgSQL stored procedures
Does PostgreSQL provide a way to step-debug into plpgSQL stored procedures? If yes, how do you do debug the stored procedures? Can it be done via any interface: jdbc, odbc, .net, etc.? If no, is there any plans to provide debugging support of plpgSQL stored procedures? I do request, if you there is plans to add debugging support, make it easy enough for various interfaces to use it: jdbc, odbc, .net, etc...

One of the commercial versions of PG offered it as a feature IIRC, but I could be wrong, and if so it was some time ago. > If yes, how do you do debug the stored procedures?

Not afaik - there's plenty of interest, but no-one with enough time and knowledge I think. > I do request, if you there is plans to add debugging support, make it > easy enough for various interfaces to use it: jdbc, odbc, .net, etc... That might be tricky as a general case, since I'm not sure all of them offer a suitable out-of-band channel that could be used to send the relevant control/debug data. You could always make it part of the SQL interface, I suppose that would automatically give you cross-client support. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd

One connection that acts like a controller that executes debug commands and can respond to the results while a second connection would be the connection that actually steps through the plpgSQL code? Special SQL commands may need to be created, such as, hook this connection to another connection. What do you think?

The EMS manager can apparently do it. http://www.sqlmanager.net/en/ klint. +---------------------------------------+-----------------+ : Klint Gore : "Non rhyming : : EMail : kg@kgb.une.edu.au : slang - the : : Snail : A.B.R.I. : possibilities : : Mail University of New England : are useless" : : Armidale NSW 2351 Australia : L.J.J. : : Fax : +61 2 6772 5376 : : +---------------------------------------+-----------------+

In generally it seems to work. You should test it with your code carefully. -- Best Regards / Viele Grüße Sebastian Hennebrueder ---- http://www.laliluna.de Tutorials for JSP, JavaServer Faces, Struts, Hibernate and EJB
