It is part of the plpgsql procedural language. So you could easily create a small stored procedure, for example: create function myraise(msg varchar, id varchar) returns void as $$ begin raise notice '%: %', msg, id; end; $$ language plpgsql; and call that from SQL: select myraise ('mymsg', '1234'); -- Scott Ribe scott_ribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
