Re: Export data from a query ran by pgagent

Hi everyone,

I hope someone has an idea because I have been stuck with this for a couple of days. I'm using pgagent to allow some users of my database to schedule period remote queries that create some reports.

However, I do not find anywhere on the manual or the mailing list how to retrieve the result of the ran queries. Alternatively, I have used COPY statement although that requires the SQL query being run by a superuser which is not an option anymore as this compromises the general security of the system.

Does anyone know or has come with a hack for exporting the information retrieved by a query run by pgagent? It is important to note that pgagent jobs are connected to a remote database so the possibility of a shell script is not possible I'm afraid.
