Thanks for the response Josh. I'm not sure that psql is the right thing for me to do though, since I want to build a back-end component that takes the place of the existing postmaster. Very possible I misunderstood you though. To clarify, essentially what I want to do is this: Client [ psql | JDBC driver | pgAdmin | etc. ] issues a Query [ "Select * from sales" ] | | \/ My new component intercepts this, and decides if it wants to do something | | \/ If it does not, it simply passes this on to the real PostgreSQL server running somewhere | | \/ If it does, it passes the request over to my new server (via sockets), does its work, and pass back the results | | \/ The client gets the results back, either from PostgreSQL or from my new server, and goes about its way. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
