Re: How can I get and handle the status of sql statements that run in plpgsql ?

Thanks Adrian and Christopher !

So the transaction will be rolled back automatically if there's a problem.  Got it !

Question:  How do I detect when it is appropriate to raise notice so as to be able to see the error message?  Or will that automatically be sent to stdout if an error occurs?  

Question: Also, how can I detect how many records were operated on by, say, an update statement?  In the example I gave, I would want to make sure that the transfer amount was deducted from the savings AND that the amount was added to the checking.  Both need to be 1, else I want to...
1) send a message (raise notice)
2) rollback somehow.

The below(read to bottom of the page) might help:
