Обсуждение: Debugging Server Code
I'm guessing that there is no step-wise debugger for pgsql. If there is, then glory be and call me a dummy for not R'ing TFM. In fact, I've never heard of a step-wise debugger for any DB server, am I wrong? As I grovel through some plPerl code in a statement level trigger that depends on an array of variables, I wonder if the lack of such a debugger can be considered one of the biggest impediments to larger adoption of server-side code. I don't mean to be facetious here, how many serious and powerful programmers do you know who don't depend heavily on a good debugger to step through the code and find the nasty parts? Anyway, just a thought. We now return to our regularly scheduled mailing list...

I've done step-wise debugging in Oracle (PL/SQL) and MS-SQL Server. MySQL even has it. For PostgreSQL, in addition to the pgfoundry solution Joshua mentioned, there's also a debugger from Enterprise DB: http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/enterprisedb_debugger.do

Is it available in a development version to play with yet?

There's a fair bit to be done yet. Regards, Dave

Do you remember what it's called? In the search for plpgsql I get pgflows, plpsm, and enterprise db's debugger (which the summary says requires enterprise db 8.1.4 or wait for 8.3 if the patch is submitted/accepted) The only one I've seen is do it is EMS SQL Manager for a mere $275. klint. +---------------------------------------+-----------------+ : Klint Gore : "Non rhyming : : EMail : kg@kgb.une.edu.au : slang - the : : Snail : A.B.R.I. : possibilities : : Mail University of New England : are useless" : : Armidale NSW 2351 Australia : L.J.J. : : Fax : +61 2 6772 5376 : : +---------------------------------------+-----------------+
