Re: raise exception and transaction handling

Alternative that always works no matter how many raise exceptions there are:
Create a (perlu) function that opens a second connection to your database and does the insert into m_proba.
Since this is a seperate connection, it's also a seperate transaction and thus not rolled back by your "main" transaction.

Hi, Marcin

I'm not familiar with PREPARE TRANSACTION maby it could be done in that way.
But, you can use a EXCEPTION clause, and there put your insert.

IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM g.m_lista WHERE idf = NEW.id) THEN
RAISE EXCEPTION 'CENY NIE SPELNIAJA WARUNKOW! %', rtrim(bledne);
END IF;

EXCEPTION
when RAISE_EXCEPTION then
INSERT INTO g.m_proba VALUES (1,2);
END;

It will work corect if you have only one RAISE EXCEPTION,becouse RAISE_EXCEPTION concern every exception called by RAISE command.
I hope that will help.

Subject: [SQL] raise exception and transaction handling

Hi,
I have a problem with transaction handling. What I need to do is execute an INSERT command that would not be canceled by the
RAISE EXCEPTION command in AFTER UPDATE TRIGGER. A piece of code:

BEGIN
-- some computations

bledne := (SELECT g.q_sumka('Poz.' || lps || ' - min. cena: ' || cena || ' ' || waluta ||'; ') FROM g.m_lista WHERE idf = NEW.id);

IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM g.m_lista WHERE idf = NEW.id) THEN
RAISE EXCEPTION 'CENY NIE SPELNIAJA WARUNKOW! %', rtrim(bledne);
BEGIN
INSERT INTO g.m_proba VALUES (1,2); -- this is the operation I need to perform but the RAISE EXCEPTION above cancels it out
PREPARE TRANSACTION 'a';
COMMIT PREPARED 'a';
END;
END IF;

I tried to do it as shown above, with PREPARE and COMMIT but it's not working.
