Testing and debugging jobs

Any background worker job can be run in foreground when executed with run_job. This can be useful to debug problems when combined with increased log level.

Since run_job is implemented as stored procedure it cannot be executed inside a SELECT query but has to be executed with CALL.

Set log level shown to client to DEBUG1 and run the job with the job id 1000:

SET client_min_messages TO DEBUG1;
CALL run_job(1000);
