Dear people,
Does anyone know how to execute an OS command from pgsql. I would like
to create a trigger that op on firing would run/execute an external program.
Does such functionality exist or do I have to write my own trigger
function in C.
Reagrds,
Gevik.
Gevik,
Do something like that ...
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xclock() RETURNS int4 AS '
system("xclock");
return 1;
' LANGUAGE 'plperlu';
This should be fairly easy to implement but recall - you cannot rollback
xclock ;).
best regards,
hans
