Hello, I would like to call an external program from Pg. Specifically, I'd like to send an email every time a row with certain attribute values is inserted into a table. I already have a trigger that fires upon insertion into the table. Is the preferred method to have a trigger call a procedure written in say PLPERL? Is PLPERL capable of calling external programs or better yet forming the mail and calling sendmail itself? Thanks, Fran ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
