The following appears to work: CREATE FUNCTION evt_automatic_restart_point() RETURNS event_trigger LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$ BEGIN PERFORM pg_create_restore_point(tg_tag); END $$; CREATE EVENT TRIGGER automatic_restart_point ON ddl_command_start EXECUTE PROCEDURE evt_automatic_restart_point(); Are there any concerns about this? -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
