There are not many ways to Hand off information outside of the database while a transaction Is running. one way Is to write a Simple trigger in plpgsql that 'raise'es A notice every 'n' times trigger condition fires. that'S Essentially the only Clean way to do it in such a way that the information is Returned to the Executing console.
