Hi! Currently I am doing: CREATE TRIGGER some_trigger AFTER UPDATE ON my_table REFERENCING NEW TABLE AS new_table OLD TABLE AS old_table FOR EACH STATEMENT EXECUTE FUNCTION my_trigger(); In my trigger I do: PERFORM * FROM ((TABLE new_table EXCEPT TABLE new_table) UNION ALL (TABLE new_table EXCEPT TABLE old_table)) AS differences LIMIT 1; IF FOUND THEN ... But I wonder if there is an easier way. I would just like to know if an UPDATE really changed anything. For DELETE I do "PERFORM * FROM old_table LIMIT 1" and for INSERT I do "PERFORM * FROM new_table LIMIT 1" and I think this is reasonable. Still, not sure why I have to store the whole relation just to know if statement really changed anything. Mitar -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m
