Yuck :-(. The only idea that comes to mind is that 8.0 changed the timing of trigger firing --- the triggers are probably firing while your function still has control, whereas in earlier releases they'd only fire after it returns. Could this be breaking some assumption Slony makes about the order of operations?

regards, tom lane

Slony triggers are AFTER ROW triggers. All they do is one SPI_execp() to insert the log row. The only way that could possibly be suppressed is by bypassing the executor and doing direct heap_ access.


So how does plperl manage that?
