So event triggers are associated with
events(www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/event-trigger-matrix.html) in a

changes to the system catalogs.
You could, I guess, create and drop them for each connection. To me it
would seem more efficient to create them once. You then have the choice
of leaving them running or using the ALTER command I posted previously
to ENABLE/DISABLE them.

OK, so how do I do it?
There is no "CREATE EVENT TRIGGER IF NOT EXIST".

As I say - I'm trying to make it work from both ODBC and libpq
connection (one at a time)

Why? Just create the trigger once in a script. Event triggers are an attribute of the database and stay with it until they are dropped. If you want to turn then on and off use the ALTER EVENT TRIGGER ENABLE/DISABLE. If you insist on recreating them on each connection then:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/sql-dropeventtrigger.html
DROP EVENT TRIGGER [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
CREATE EVENT TRIGGER ...




Now the other question is - how to make it work?
I can write the function code, compile it and place in the folder
where my executable is (or it should be in some postgreSQL dir?) and
then executing above code
will be enough. Is this correct?

Also - what about this?

And why did you say that saving the SQL commend is not a good idea.

What's better?

See above.


Thank you.




And then in my C++ code I will continuously query this temporary table.

Why a temporary table? They are session specific and if the session
aborts prematurely you will lose the information.

Is there a better alternative?

Thank you.



Or there is a better alternative on the algorithm?

Thank you.


Thank you.
