You can use RAISE INFO instead (it doesn't print the stack)

There is also a pgAdmin Debugger

I am deep into debugging some pretty extensive plpgsql and it would be nice sometimes if I could somehow output the content of a table to the psql console at a particular point in a function.

For example, I am executing a select that is not returning the expected row.  So I am wondering, what exactly was in the table at the time the query was performed.

Of course, I could just write a loop prior to my query with a bunch of raise notice statements, but I'll get a stack trace for each one.  So that won't be pretty.

Suggestions?  Thx.
Raise notice is PLPGSQL equivalent of DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE.
