Well one thing that might be useful for a c++ procedural language would be catching C++ exceptions and translating them into ereports which could then be caught in Postgres. That's actually what I thought you had done but I just reread your mail and realized you only handled unhandled exceptions which cause the backend to die. The other way around could be useful too -- catching ereports/elogs within a backend API call from C++ code and throwing a C++ exception. I'm not sure if that's doable though. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's RemoteDBA services! -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
