Re: can I define own variables?

Martin,

Can you explain this a little further?

My client-application would somehow set the the environment-variable PGUSER e.g. to 42. Then create an odbc connection with user='john' and password='doe' to the remote pg-server. Later the triggers that run on the server would access this client-local environment-variable for updates?

How can the server-located function see client-local Env-Vars ?

Regards
Andreas

use environment variables

PGHOST is the host for Postgres
PGHOSTADDR is the Numeric Host Address for Postgres
PGPORT is the port for the PostgresServer to listen on
PGDATABASE is the default Database Name
PGUSER  is the default Username to use to login
PGPASSWORD is the password to use for default Username to login

can I define connection-global variables within a ODBC connection ?
Temp table, containing only 1 row, one column per variable. If you so
wish,
wrap it up in stored procedures for creating, setting, and accessing.
