It is usually not necessary to check it separately because if there were no errors than the row has been inserted successfully assuming your redirecting function is okay. However the only way to get the inserted row back is to do it from a subsequent statement in the partitioning case. In your application you can use LISTEN/NOTIFY if you need to get some specific information from trigger BTW. May be it will help somehow. -- Sergey Konoplev a database architect, software developer at PostgreSQL-Consulting.com http://www.postgresql-consulting.com Jabber: gray.ru@xxxxxxxxx Skype: gray-hemp Phone: +79160686204 -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
