Re: Raise Notice question

From the 7.4.6 Documentation:

27.9. Notice Processing


Notice and warning messages generated by the server are not returned by the
query execution functions, since they do not imply failure of the query.
Instead they are passed to a notice handling function, and execution
continues normally after the handler returns. The default notice handling
function prints the message on stderr, but the application can override this
behavior by supplying its own handling function.


For historical reasons, there are two levels of notice handling, called the
notice receiver and notice processor. The default behavior is for the notice
receiver to format the notice and pass a string to the notice processor for
printing. However, an application that chooses to provide its own notice
receiver will typically ignore the notice processor layer and just do all the
work in the notice receiver.

There is more in the documentation that tells you how to write your notice
receiver function.
