Re: Triggers and Full Text Search *

My apologies - I did not look closely at the manual. Many many years ago (6.xx days I had a similar problem and leapt to answer).

Could you post your CREATE TRIGGER statements as well?

@Ericson,

Forgive me for seeming dense, but how does COPY help or hurt here?

@Andreas,

I had to laugh at your reference to "prose". Would you believe I am actually a published playwright? Long before I started coding, of course. Old habits die hard.....

I think COPY bypasses the triggers.

I am not (yet) posting the trigger code because this post is long already, and if your answers are 1) yes, 2) no and 3) triggers often work / fail like this, then there’s no point and we can wrap this up. But if not, I will happily post what I have. Thank you.

 

This is too much prose for the regular programmer, show us the code, and point out what doesn't work for you, then we can help:-)
