Well, I'm specifically thinking of master partition tables. In that
case, we really want an INSTEAD OF trigger.
/me scratches head.
So, put a BEFORE trigger, and make it return NULL. Same effect,
different notation.
But it's not the same effect at all, that's the point:
=# create view foov as select 1 as a;
CREATE VIEW
=# create function insteadof() returns trigger as $$
$# begin
$# -- INSERT here
$# return new;
$# end
$# $$ language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
=# create function before() returns trigger as $$
$# begin
$# -- INSERT here
$# return null;
$# end
$# $$ language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
=# create trigger t1 instead of insert on foov for each row execute
procedure insteadof();
CREATE TRIGGER
=# create trigger t2 before insert on bart for each row execute
procedure before();
CREATE TRIGGER
=# insert into foov values (1) returning *;
a
---
1
(1 row)
INSERT 0 1
local:marko=#* insert into bart values (1) returning *;
a
---
(0 rows)
INSERT 0 0
