Hi,

I have a while loop and I want to re-iterate after every 't' seconds.
I was reading up on the postgresql documentation that says pg_sleep(t)
should be handy.
However i doesn't work.

Hmmm, I'm looking at section 9.9.5 Delaying Execution in the PostgreSQL 8.2.0 Documentation. Following the example presented there, I fired up psql and ran the following:

postgres=# select current_timestamp; select pg_sleep(3); select current_timestamp;
            now

 pg_sleep
----------

(1 row)

            now
----------------------------
 2007-10-09 23:50:35.774-04
(1 row)

Seems to be working.  What version are you using and on what platform?
