Hello, I have read that 7.x version had a model "all or nothing" in transactions. Thus I have upgraded to version 8 and would like to do the following: plpgsq code does time intensive data manipulation + database vacuuming. This data manipulation is splitted logically into several steps. After each step I would like to give a message to the status table, what the procedure is performing. Currently I pass the information to the table via insert, but this is also the limitation. I would like to allow another user see the progress of the current pgplsql procedure, but no insert is commited, till procedure ends. How this can be solved?
