Re: Table auditing / Pg/tcl help

Also are there any better ways to debug tcl scripts in postgres?

I've just noticed the script I'm using (and the one on the example
site) works for a single row delete, but not for more than 1 row.
It's hard to see from the error given in postgres what's going off.

E.g.

DELETE FROM "MYTABLE" WHERE "ID" = 1

Deletes one row, and updates my audit table, but

DELETE FROM "MYTABLE" WHERE "ID" >= 1

Deletes the rows, but gives an error on logging the audit table.

Anyone got any ideas on good ways of auditing table opperations?
