I am trying to create a function that gets fired when a new row is
inserted. I can get the following function built but my problem is
that the sequence that is created is called "NEW.key" rather than the
value that is being inserted (it should be a UUID).
I have tried putting the key into a variable and using no quotes but
it either errors or gives me "NEW.key" rather than "whatever-uuid-was
inserted".
Please can anybody give me some pointers?
Thanks
Jake
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.setup_sequence()
RETURNS trigger
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $$
DECLARE
sequence_name UUID;
BEGIN
IF (
TG_OP = 'INSERT' AND
NEW.type =
'auto_increment'
) THEN
SELECT NEW.key INTO
STRICT sequence_name;
-- Set up the sequence
CREATE SEQUENCE
\"NEW.key\";
-- Set the start value
--SELECT
SETVAL(sequence_name, NEW.auto_increment_default);
END IF;
RETURN NEW;
END;
