Re: [HACKERS] PSQL return coder
I was avoiding ON_ERROR_STOP because I was using ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK, but have just realised that if I encase my SQL in a transaction then rollback will still happen. Perfect!

Re: [HACKERS] PSQL return coder
Hello 2013/10/10 James Sewell james.sew...@lisasoft.com Hello, I am using PSQL to run SQL from a file with the -f flag as follows: BEGIN SQL SQL ... END This gives me rollback on error and a nicer output than -1. This works fine. My question is in a rollback scenario is it possible to get PSQL to return a non 0 exit status? probably not - from psql perspective all statements was perfect Pavel Cheers,a James -- James Sewell, PostgreSQL Team Lead / Solutions Architect __ Level 2, 50 Queen St, Melbourne VIC 3000 *P *(+61) 3 8370 8000 * **W* www.lisasoft.com *F *(+61) 3 8370 8099 -- The contents of this email are confidential and may be subject to legal or professional privilege and copyright.
