Did you read the documentation or try it? Perhaps you're thinking of now(), current_timestamp, and friends, which don't advance during a transaction; but as the documentation states, "timeofday() returns the wall-clock time and does advance during transactions." I just ran tests on versions of PostgreSQL going back to 7.2.8 and in all of them timeofday() advanced during a transaction. Does it not work on your system? If not then something's broken -- what OS and version of PostgreSQL are you using? -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
