After hours of search, I searched just some more and I think I found the solution, hope it can be useful to someone else : CREATE LANGUAGE plperlu; CREATE FUNCTION test_perl_external (integer) RETURNS boolean AS $$ $filename = '/tmp/somefile'; if (-e $filename) { return true; } return false; $$ LANGUAGE plperlu; SELECT test_perl_external(1);
Just remember that anything run like that, won't rollback in a transaction. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
