Printing run time messages in postgres

Question

Can we use RAISE NOTICE in postgres as equivalent of RAISERROR \'message to display\' WITH NOWAIT in SQL Server, or is there a better way

Answer 1

Yes, you can use RAISE NOTICE like below. It's correct the way you are doing.

RAISE NOTICE 'i want to print % and %', var1,var2;

See here for more information https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/plpgsql-errors-and-messages.html

EDIT:

begin
INSERT INTO tbl1 (col1) values (val1);
raise notice 'insert tbl1 done!';
end;
