Ah, well that code is pretty complex to read as it uses async queries
which fire events when they complete. There's no obvious flow to
follow just by reading.

My colleague posted an example of the API usage a while back - you can
find it at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-09/msg00241.php

Thanks for the replies.

I probably should have explained what it is that I am trying to do.

I am trying to create a command line interface to the debugger rather than
using the GUI (that'll eventually plug into a sort of testing harness) - so
I am needing to figure out how it actually works.  In the code comments it
mentions that any client can be used (psql) ... I don't mind all the extra
typing =)

Any thoughts on how I may do this?

I did have a brief look at the code inside pgadmin's debugger module - but
it was a bit hard to figure out how it kicked the whole process off...

Run pgAdmin with the plugin enabled in your database, and right-click
a function and select one of the debugging options.

[GENERAL] using plpgsql debuggers

2008-10-28 Thread Ravi Chemudugunta
hi all,

has anyone here heard of / used:

http://pgfoundry.org/projects/edb-debugger/

This allows one to debug code, using breakpoints, single stepping etc. which
seems really great but I haven't figured out how to use it yet?

I can't figure out how to invocate the server (target) side in order to then
get the proxy to connect to it.

Any help / suggestions much appreciated.
