Is it possible for a PostgreSQL plpgsql function to not return anything? I've created a function, and I don't need it to return anything at all, as it performs a complex SQL query, and inserts the results of that query into another table (SELECT INTO ....). Thus, I have no need or interest in having the function return any output or va...
I'm curious about how others have approached the problem of maintaining and synchronizing database changes across many (10+) developers without a DBA?

I'm developing a web app and I've come to a fork in the road with respect to database structure and I don't know which direction to take.

Right now I am using Squirrel as a client, and it does not apparently deal very well with large datasets - at least as far as I can tell from my own (limited) experience. If I run the query on the act...
