Trigger (Calling a Procedure)
Hi,
I'm trying to create a trigger with the following definition:
CREATE TRIGGER insert_price_change AFTER INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE ON
raw_email
FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE add_one(1);
Procedure / Function add_one has the following definition
CREATE FUNCTION add_one(integer) RETURNS integer
AS '/usr/local/pgsql/jsb/add_one', 'add_one'
LANGUAGE C STRICT;
function add_one is running fine.
When I try to create the trigger insert_price_change, it throws me the
follwoing error:
ERROR: function add_one() does not exist
However, I can see function add_one(int4) as one of the functions in
pgadmin.
Don't know whats going on wrong.
Thanks,
~Harpreet

Trigger functions must return type "trigger" and they must be
declared with no arguments. You can pass an argument as in your
CREATE TRIGGER statement but a trigger function receives its arguments
differently than an ordinary function. See the Triggers chapter
in the documentation, especially "Writing Trigger Functions in C":
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/triggers.html
Unless you need to use C I'd suggest using PL/pgSQL. Even if you
do need to use C I'd recommend practicing with PL/pgSQL to learn
the basics with a simpler language.

I got your point.
however, my requirement is something like this.
The trigger shold start another function (a stored procedure) after any
event is fired.
how do I accomplish this goal?

Its actually something like the trigger should start a C function after
insert and the C function has the ECPG code for some more inserts.
Its similar to the way we dynamically load a shared library while executing
a stored procedure, as in , executing a fucntion in C file using stored
procedure/ function.
