Hi people, i have a problem here. I'm doing a trigger that when a update occurs i need to do an update on the same table (target table), but as known, it causes a endless loop whithin infinit updates. So I need to stop the trigger after it does the first update, is there any way????? I tried to do a return null, but that was a very bad idea because it stops completly the function fired by a trigger and all its computation is in vain...
The test trigger that i did is like : CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.sp_teste_loop() RETURNS trigger AS ' begin raise notice \'Trigger Fired\'; if (TG_OP = \'INSERT\') then update teste_trigger set flg_bool = \'S\' where codigo=NEW.codigo; RETURN NEW; elsif (TG_OP = \'UPDATE\') then update teste_trigger set flg_bool = \'N\' where codigo=NEW.codigo; RETURN NULL; end if; end; ' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE; CREATE TRIGGER tr_sp_teste_trigger BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON public.teste_trigger FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE public.sp_teste_loop(); Thank for any help and regards!!!! ===================== Rodrigo Sakai Database Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.2bfree.com.br Tel: (55) (11) 5083-5577 Fax: (55) (11) 5549-3598 ===================== ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
