  1. SPI hacking

    Terry Mackintosh <terry@terrym.com> — 1998-11-06T19:39:30Z

    Hi all
    
    I started with the contrib/spi/*.c stuff and am working toward a function
    to be used by a trigger to update a datetime field upon doing an UPDATE to
    a record.
    
    It is about ready to test, except one thing :)
    
    Is there a function like GetCurrentAbsoluteTime() that will get the
    current time in a form suitable for inserting into a datetime field?
    
    GetCurrentDatetimeTime() maybe???
    or a convertion function?
    
    Thanks

    Yes, that's it! 
    (Where is this documented at?)
    
    Well, here it is, seems to work.
    The attached file is intended to be uppacked in
    /usr/src/pgsql/contrib/spi/ (on my box any way)
    and has a diff file for Makefile and the rest are new files.
    
    I'm in a hurry, got to go, so have not tested it but a little bit.
    
    Hope it is usefull.
