OK, I am doing enough of this to start using some debug error messages.
I put the following in a function declaration:
RAISE notice 'Called with %', $1 ;
But, when I call the function I do not see anything. I edited postgresql.conf
Like this:
client_min_messages = notice
#client_min_messages = notice # values in order of decreasing detail:
Event though it looked like this should be the default.
restarted Postgres with:
/etc/init.d/postgresql restart
But I still do not see this, or see it in the log when I call this function.
Ubuntu 18.04 a Postgresql 11 if that matters.
