I want to set up a trigger (somehow) that, whenever someone connects > database my_db, will fire and thereby run a stored PLPERL procedure > perl_setup() in the new connection's environment.

Create a hook in each plperl func that does the initial setup for you as needed. Simply store a value in $_SHARED indicating whether it has already run or not for that session. This also avoid any overhead at all of calling perl_setup() if the connection in question is never going to use plperl, or even if it is going to use plperl but does not need perl_setup(). - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@xxxxxxxxxxxx PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200803121042 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAkfX6+0ACgkQvJuQZxSWSsiFdQCg4WGmB4+InrL7E+7c8Tq82lFy TFcAn2lQfSXJwO8LUQ9vZPf9ZStLdVHW =R5fK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
