test=*# create table a ( id int primary key, room char(32), start_time timestamp, end_time timestamp);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "a_pkey" for table "a"
CREATE TABLE
test=*# create or replace function check_overlapp() returns trigger as $$begin perform id from a where room=new.room and (start_time,end_time) overlaps (new.start_time,new.end_time); if found then raise notice 'room reserved'; return null; else return new; end if; end; $$language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
test=*# create trigger trg_check before insert or update on a for each row execute procedure check_overlapp();
CREATE TRIGGER
test=*# insert into a values (1, 'room1', '2009-10-01'::timestamptz, '2009-10-10'::timestamptz);
INSERT 0 1
test=*# insert into a values (2, 'room1', '2009-09-01'::timestamptz, '2009-09-10'::timestamptz);
INSERT 0 1
test=*# insert into a values (3, 'room1', '2009-09-08'::timestamptz, '2009-09-20'::timestamptz);
NOTICE: room reserved
INSERT 0 0
You can also use RAISE EXCEPTION to force an error:
test=*# create or replace function check_overlapp() returns trigger as $$begin perform id from a where room=new.room and (start_time,end_time) overlaps (new.start_time,new.end_time); if found then raise exception 'room reserved'; return null; else return new; end if; end; $$language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
test=*# insert into a values (3, 'room1', '2009-09-08'::timestamptz, '2009-09-20'::timestamptz);
ERROR: room reserved
