what's wrong with this?
--- create table test (id int, name text, parent int); insert into test values (1,'a',1); insert into test values (2,'b',1); insert into test values (3,'c',1);
create or replace function test() returns trigger as ' begin raise info ''id: %, oldname: %'',old.id, old.name; if new.parent <> old.parent then update test set name = ''old'' where parent = old.parent; end if; return new; end; ' language plpgsql;
create trigger test_trigger before update on test for each row execute procedure test();
update test set parent = 2; ---
