[[ logging from postgres ]] I think you can use dblink to do this - everything you do via dblink happens in a separate db session and so it shouldn't be affected by what happens in your transaction. Depending on your requirements, system resources may be an issue though (you're opening a full additional db session.) cheers -- vbi -- Although this syntax is required by the SQL standard, it's not clear what the standard expects it to do, except that it's most likely not what we were doing. -- PostgreSQL 8.3 release notes This e-mail is confidential and should not be used by anyone who is not the original intended recipient.
