Hi , I am basically a MySQL DBA and have little idea on PostgreSQL. In our environment we have an application which is using PostgreSQL as its back end. The application logs the status of the jobs running in it to a table in this database i.e when a job starts it inserts a new row to this table and it keeps on updating the column `status` based on the status of the job running. So the requirement that we have is I need to capture certain status values and based on it need to through alert to our centralized monitoring system. What I need to know is it possible to write a trigger which will write the data of the row whose status column gets updated to a text file?
