are you running the psql with -c or -f?
add -o to put all in a file and -e to write the last query, and with a
tail to the log, you can see where is the problem

Hi, thanks for your answers,
Application_name is a good tip, 64 chars are enough to code steps, I'll use that
I expected being able to write raise events to a table or to store data in
another table but it doesn't appear to be possible due to transaction isolation.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I have a rather long pgsql procedure and I would like to detect
which step is currently executing (subscript 1,2,3…). Due to
transaction isolation, it’s not possible to make it write in a table
or get nexval from a sequence because values become available only
after the complete end of the procedure.
Do you see any solution in this purpose ?

You can also abuse SET application_name, as the value will be directly seen by
other transactions. You're quite limited in the number of bytes to use, but if
you just need to do some quick testing it can be helpful.
