But i have questions/suggestions:
- you have never-used variables in your function. Perhaps you have an
older version from the function with an error and the wrong version
runs?
- perhaps, you have an other trigger on phonebook that calls recursive
the trigger on addressbook?
Thanks a lot for pointer. There was a 'phonebook' trigger set on phonebook
itself, which was resulting in a infinite loop.
test=# \d addressbook
Table "public.addressbook"
Column | Type |
Modifiers
----------+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------
id | integer | not null default
nextval('addressbook_id_seq'::regclass)
name | character varying(100) |
address1 | character varying(100) |
address2 | character varying(100) |
address3 | character varying(100) |
phonenum | character varying(15) |
Indexes:
"addressbook_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
"addressbook_name_key" UNIQUE, btree (name)
Triggers:
phonebook AFTER INSERT ON addressbook FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE
add_to_phonebook()
test=# \d phonebook
Table "public.phonebook"
Column | Type |

So, when i dropped this trigger and tried insert, it worked...
test=# DROP TRIGGER phonebook ON phonebook;
DROP TRIGGER
test=# INSERT INTO addressbook (name,address1,address2,address3,phonenum)
VALUES ('Andy','House 1','Second Street','Cochin','9898098980');
INSERT 0 1
test=# select * from phonebook;
id | name | phonenum
------+---------+------------
4025 | Andy | 9898098980
(1 row)
It works perfect, Thanks again for enlightening me.
- you can use a RULE instead a Trigger, an example:
test=# create rule r_adr as on insert to adr do also insert into
tele(name) values (new.name);
CREATE RULE
test=*# commit;
COMMIT
test=# insert into adr (name, phone,city) values ('du', '456',
'wilsdruff');
INSERT 0 1
test=*# select * from tele;
name | phone
------+-------
ich | 123
du | 456
du |
(3 rows)
Now i have a TRIGGER and a RULE, and both works ;-)
Ya, ok. Will try rule too. :)
I think, you should check your tables with \d addressbook and \d
phonebook to ensure that everything is okay.
Thanks, I just did that :)
