How to print(var)
in postgres like python?
Given the following code:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION custom_sum(c1 integer, c2 integer)RETURNS integer AS $$ SELECT c1 + c2;$$ LANGUAGE SQL;CREATE aggregate agg_custom_sum(integer) ( sfunc = custom_sum, stype = integer, initcond = 0);DROP TABLE IF EXISTS aggcheck;CREATE TABLE aggcheck AS SELECT x FROM generate_series(1, 3) AS g(x);SELECT agg_custom_sum(x) FROM aggcheck;
How can I print the values of c1, c2
to the terminal when running?
Eg (I'm aware this won't work - it's python syntax - hopefully communicates the sort of usage I'm after though):
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION custom_sum(c1 integer, c2 integer)RETURNS integer AS $$ print(f"c1 = {c1}, c2 = {c2}"); SELECT c1 + c2;$$ LANGUAGE SQL;
If it makes much difference - I'm calling this using \i script.sql
from within a psql session.
If there are any links to debugging approaches more generally (eg breakpoing, try/catch, writing to a file) they would be appreciated, though not necessary to answer this question.
