> Why dont you try to write your trigger in C? Hi, one cannot write triggered procedures in C. Currently, it can only be written in plpsgql.
> > CREATE FUNCTION "public"."check_shipment" () RETURNS trigger AS' > > begin > > If new.shipment_type_id = 4 then > > --do something > > end if; > > return new; > > end; > > in the above example everything works if shipment_type_id is being > > updated. If it is not I will receive a run-time error because > > shipment_type_id is not part of the record new. All the fields of updated record must available in NEW variable. Refer the manual for details. Forward your sql & run-time error for further assistance. regards, bhuvaneswaran ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
