Hi Guys,

thank you for your help !

Hmm yes something like this.

I was wondering if is possible to pass variable into function:


CREATE FUNCTION change_trigger() RETURNS trigger AS $$

        BEGIN

                IF      TG_OP = 'INSERT'

                THEN

                        INSERT INTO logging.t_history (tabname, schemaname, 
operation, new_val)

                                VALUES (TG_RELNAME, TG_TABLE_SCHEMA, TG_OP, 
row_to_json(NEW));

                        RETURN NEW;

                ELSIF   TG_OP = 'UPDATE'

                THEN

                        INSERT INTO logging.t_history (tabname, schemaname, 
operation, new_val, old_val)

                                VALUES (TG_RELNAME, TG_TABLE_SCHEMA, TG_OP,

                                        row_to_json(NEW), row_to_json(OLD));

                        RETURN NEW;

                ELSIF   TG_OP = 'DELETE'

                THEN

                        INSERT INTO logging.t_history (tabname, schemaname, 
operation, old_val)

                                VALUES (TG_RELNAME, TG_TABLE_SCHEMA, TG_OP, 
row_to_json(OLD));

                        RETURN OLD;

                END IF;

        END;

$$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' SECURITY DEFINER;

Best,

It is possible to pass values into functions -

postgres=# select fx(10);
NOTICE:  >>>10<<<
┌────┐
│ fx │
╞════╡
│    │
└────┘
(1 row)

postgres=# \sf fx
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.fx(a integer)
 RETURNS void
 LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $function$
begin
  raise notice '>>>%<<<', a;
end;
$function$

but it is not possible to pass parameters to trigger functions. You can define 
trigger parameters when you define trigger, but these values must be constant.

a) the request of trigger parametrization is usually signal of bad using of 
triggers - probably you should to use a function, not trigger

b) there is workaround - but you should not to use it if it is not really 
necessary

There are few implementations of session variables in postgres - you can find 
via google. Then you can set session variable before SQL command, and you can 
read this session variable inside trigger function.

Regards

Pavel
