Statement level trigger clarification

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm new to triggers and I'm having difficulty in understanding how
statement level triggers on before updates work.

I have a function that sets new.last_modified := current_timestamp;

If I were to define a trigger as:-

CREATE TRIGGER my_trigger
  BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
  ON my_table
  FOR EACH STATEMENT
  EXECUTE PROCEDURE my_function();

and my update statement were to update more than one row, would I be
correct in understanding that every row the update statement touches
will have the exact same value for last_modified?
