Re: Postgres Triggers issue

Trigger function for an insert/update trigger should return "NEW", not
NULL (OLD - for "on delete" trigger):
It's an AFTER TRIGGER, so the RETURN-Value ignored.

According the doc:

The return value of a BEFORE or AFTER statement-level trigger or an
AFTER row-level trigger is always ignored; it might as well be null.

We found the problem. I did some additional digging and learned the admin in question was trying to trigger on a schema.table that didn't exist! Yeah I did slap him around a bit ;-)

remembering the schema part of the name can be important!!  ::grinz::

One further question, so we're doing inserts from a remote source (it's a radware system feeding us data). Why would it stop the system from inserting data when it's an after statement? I noticed a bunch of 'connection time out' messages in our logs.

It is working so I'm good. Still it is interesting the feed just stopped when the trigger was enabled.

Thanks!
