Re: Shell access & send email from PLPGSQL?

Hello,

This is exactly what I needed. It works just fine for me, except when a function is being created through the pgAdmin
III(version 1.02 under Windows). In this case, I think functions are being stored in the database with a CR/LF at the
end,what the plpgsh engine does not like at all! 

Except this, that's fine. Thanks.

Hello

If you require only send mail, try pgsendmail.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=35804.
You can use plsh too.
