You can probably build a sleep() function in C, and then use that to cause delaying in a PL/pgSQL set-returning function. Something like #include <postgres.h> #include <fmgr.h> PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(sleep); Datum sleep(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS) { int32 delay = PG_GETARG_INT32(0); sleep(delay); PG_RETURN_VOID(); } -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]dcc.uchile.cl>) La web junta la gente porque no importa que clase de mutante sexual seas, tienes millones de posibles parejas.
