Greetings List, I am working on converting a large set of code from a commercial 4gl known as Progress to plpgsql. This code defines a rating system for a transportation logistics package. In the Progress world, one is able to prompt the user for input during the execution of a trigger or a function, right in the middle of a transaction. During the rating process, I have a couple of situations where I need to prompt the user for a value that lies within an acceptable range defined in the rating matrix. The front end to this application is X-Windows written in C. All this rating (termed AutoRating) desperately needs to be accomplished in plpgsql due to the complexity of the record look up and record inserts. Is there any way to gather input from a user while in the middle of a transaction from a plpgsql function? I think the answer is no; but, maybe some you wizards have worked this magic before, or maybe, I've been working at this way too long and have missed the obvious. Any input and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks... -- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
