How do I call multiple functions in one trigger?
Hi,
Can I call multiple functions in one trigger?
Something like this:
CREATE TRIGGER match_cond_name_generate
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
ON public.predicate_index
FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE public.match_cond_name_generate();
EXECUTE PROCEDURE public.create_predicate_table();
Postgresql won't allow me to do this. Multiple triggers won't guarantee the
order of the operations. Do I have to put everything into one single
function?
Many thanks,
Wei Wang

No. Use multiple triggers.

Sure they will (in recent releases anyway). Triggers are fired
alphabetically.

You could create a "wrapper" function that the trigger calls, which then
calls all the other functions that you need to call, in the order in which
they are defined in the wrapper function.
