How can I write trigger on a columns insert/update?
How can I write trigger on a columns insert/update?
CREATE TRIGGER mytrigger
BEFORE
INSERT OR UPDATE
OF mycolumn ON mytable
FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE myfunction();
I am getting error "syntax error at or near "OF"
Thanks

You don't I'm afraid. It's not a feature that's supported yet. You have
to check which column(s) were changed in your functions.
It is on the TODO list though:

Just to add there is someone working on this for 8.1, hopefully it will
get done. Also the workaround is to create a regular trigger and then do
a check in the function
IF NEW.mycol <> OLD.mycol THEN... it's not quite as spiff but should do
what you want.
