Hi all
Something it's tricky for me here, see my trigger I wrote below. What can I
do to insert c_code from center table INTO center_changed table with ONLY
the c_code where the update was made or where an INSERT of the new entry
INTO center table what made .
Let's say the center table has got the following values. When I try to
change c_dsc from KITWE to KIT where c_code ='0204' the trigger should take
cde 0204 and insert it into center_changed table with a time stamp. So the
main problem I have it's to populate the table called center_changed.
c_cde | c_desc | c_active
--------+------------------------------------------------+----------
0094 | GABORONE WAREHOUSE | f
0204 | KITWE | t
CREATE TABLE center_changed (
c_cde text NOT NULL,
stamp timestamp NOT NULL
);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION check_center_changes() RETURNS TRIGGER AS
$center_changed$
BEGIN
IF (TG_OP = 'UPDATE') THEN
INSERT INTO center_changed SELECT c_cde, now();
RETURN NEW;
ELSIF (TG_OP = 'INSERT') THEN
INSERT INTO center_changed SELECT c_cde, now();
RETURN NEW;
END IF;
RETURN NULL;
END;
$center_changed$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE TRIGGER center_changed
AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON center
FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE check_center_changes();
