One thing I've done in the past is to create a temporary table and insert 
"raise notice" debug statements to it, incrementing a sequence as it went 
along.  Then just select the message with order by the seq.  Useful in the 
recursive calls I was testing at the time.  But it did require that I stick a 
bunch of "raise notice" statements and reload the procedure(s).

But ya, a real debugger sould be great.

Subject: [GENERAL] Recommendations on plpgsql debugger?

Hi all;

I have a client who needs a way to step through a PL/PGSQL function and ideally 
see what one is doing at present.  I noticed that there used to be an EDB 
Debugger module for this purpose but I can't seem to find one for 9.1 and I 
can't seem to pull from csv to try.

Any alternatives? Am I missing something?

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
