Re: Prompt User From a pgplsql Function

Well, I haven't tried it yet, but I don't believe it will. It will be the same
connection in the same transaction. In other triggers, I've done something
similiar by inserting a record into a special table called "override" and
have other triggers that fire in the same transaction look for a record in
that table in order to make a decision about what course of action to take.
All the other triggers are able to see the record. I don't see this as being
any different. After I try it, I'll let you know.

Thanks for the input...
