Yes. cleanSessionTable does the actual cleaning.

The point of the select from app_security.app_val_session_vw is that
if the session is valid, the function returns a JSON containing
pertinent information relating to the session.

So are you saying I need to do both this counting stuff AND the "ask
for forgiveness", I thought you were suggesting mutuallly exclusive
options earlier ?

I'll work on integrating the count stuff now, but I still don't
understand why a BEGIN subblock still gets rolled back.

This is on 9.4.4 if it makes any difference, by the way.

>>> 2) Act and then ask for forgiveness.

Regarding this part, I have changed to RAISE NOTICE and added a return
to the bottom of the Pl/PGSQL.

The function does not abort now, I get a simple :

NOTICE: Failed to validate session for session XYZ (SQLSTATE: P0002
- SQLERRM: query returned no rows)
HINT: Database error occured (sval fail)
validatesession
-----------------
[false]
(1 row)

But the problem persists in that the delete still gets rolled back,
despite it being in its own sub block.

CREATE FUNCTION app_security.validateSession(p_session_id
app_domains.app_uuid,p_client_ip inet,p_user_agent
text,p_forcedTimeout bigint,p_sessionTimeout bigint) RETURNS json AS
$$
DECLARE
v_now bigint;
v_row app_security.app_val_session_vw%ROWTYPE;
v_json json;
BEGIN
v_now := extract(epoch FROM now())::bigint;
BEGIN
perform app_security.cleanSessionTable(p_forcedTimeout,p_sessionTimeout);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RAISE EXCEPTION 'Failed to clean session table % (SQLSTATE: % -
SQLERRM: %)', session_id,SQLSTATE,SQLERRM
USING HINT = 'Database error occured (sval cleansess fail)';
END;
select * into strict v_row from app_security.app_val_session_vw where
session_id=p_session_id and session_ip=p_client_ip and
session_user_agent=p_user_agent;
update app_security.app_sessions set session_lastactive=v_now where
session_id=p_session_id;
select row_to_json(v_row) into v_json ;
return v_json;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RAISE NOTICE 'Failed to validate session for session % (SQLSTATE: % -
SQLERRM: %)', p_session_id,SQLSTATE,SQLERRM
USING HINT = 'Database error occured (sval fail)';
return '[false]';
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
