Hi,
with Oracle I have the ability to tell the system to log errors during a long transaction into a separate table and
proceedwith the statement. This is quite handy when updating large tables and the update for one out of a million rows
fails.
The syntax is something like this:
UPDATE <affecting a lot of rows>
LOG ERRORS INTO target_log_table;
Any row that can not be updated will logged into the specified table (which needs to have a specific format of course)
andthe statement continues. You can add a limit on how many errors should be "tolerated".
This works for INSERT and DELETE as well.
Is there something similar in Postgres? Or a way how I could simulate this?
Cheers
Thomas
