can you do rollback in a trigger function?
I want to roll back deletion if there is a reference (FK) in another table.
Can I explicitly call a rollback inside a function?
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION pre_del_prod_proc()
returns trigger as $$
begin
if exists (select 1 from host_config where config_id = OLD.id) then
rollback;
end if;
end;
$$ language plpqsql;
CREATE TRIGGER pre_del_prod_proc
before delete on prod_config
for each row execute procedure pre_del_prod_proc();
Thanks,
Quang.

You should RAISE an error. The transaction should roll back due to the
error.

No. Transactions are controlled outside the body of any executing
function. You do have have a couple other options, though. If you can't
use a basic foreign key which does this automatically, you can have your
trigger function return NULL. From the documentation:
"Row-level triggers fired BEFORE can return null to signal the trigger
manager to skip the rest of the operation for this row (i.e., subsequent
triggers are not fired, and the INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE does not occur for
this row)"
You could also raise an explicit error so the user sees something. To
fake a foreign key violation, you'd do:
RAISE EXCEPTION foreign_key_violation;
So you don't need a rollback anyway.
