What techniques can one use to monitor the progress of a stored
procedure?
Specifically, how can I get the procedure to print a progress
indicator message to the screen every once in a while?
[...](In case it matters, the procedure is written in PL/perl. I
tried to use Perl's print statement, unbuffered, to print out a
message periodically from within the procedure, but I see no output.)
elog? (see example in
