Hi is there a way to stop execution of a psql script if a select returns some rows (or no rows) The idea is to add a safety check on data, specifically to select all new rows that would conflict on a bulk insert, show them and stop Look at \if command in psql (since v10):select count(*) as total from pg_class where 1 = 1\gset select :total = 0 as notfound\gset \if :notfound \echo Nothing found. \q \endif \echo :total records found. ----- Pavel Luzanov Postgres Professional: http://www.postgrespro.com The Russian Postgres Company |
