Hi,

readding around I just found this:
The CREATE TRIGGER statement in PostgreSQL implements a subset of the SQL99 standard. (There are no provisions for triggers in SQL92.) The following functionality IS MISSING: * SQL99 allows triggers to fire on updates to specific columns (e.g., AFTER UPDATE OF col1, col2).
* .....

Does anybody know if that's true on version postgresql (PostgreSQL) 8.1.2? Because I don't actually know from what version that sentence is.

Thanks in advance

There is not a way to create column level trigger. If the trigger don't block the insert/update/delete, you can try an "after trigger" that do all insertions once.

    Hi,

    My trigger's running on a table that works perfectly. This trigger
    calls
    a function that inserts or modifies a row of a different table. My
    problem is that I need to optimize this trigger, and the only way
    that
    I've found is to fire the trigger  when certain table fields are
    modified.  I do it like this:

    CREATE TRIGGER tr_barra_aps AFTER INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE OF status
        ON am_access_point EXECUTE PROCEDURE f_barra_aps();

    but I get this error:
    ERROR:  syntax error at or near "status" at character 62

    The status field is correct. Can anybody help me?

    Thanks
