I've been reading about triggers on insert and found the page at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/triggers.html with some sample code in the comments. I'm thinking what I want can't really be this involved. I want to have a table with a timestamp field that automatically gets the value of now() on insert. The timestamp will never be updated. I assume I need to create a trigger to do this. If there is an easier way, please advise. Otherwise, is there any sample code that would should be how to do this? The sample on the page above looks like overkill. -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU 411 N Central, Phoenix, AZ 85004 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
