Is it not possible to set the value of a field by reference of NEW.field in an AFTER trigger? I have a trigger where I set NEW.field := myfunction and NEW.field shows the resulting value in my RAISE NOTICE as shown here... CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "public"."registrants_tr_test_func" () RETURNS trigger AS $body$ BEGIN NEW.egw_id := egw_add_account(NEW.id); RAISE NOTICE 'TEST: %', NEW.egw_id; RETURN NEW; END; $body$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE CALLED ON NULL INPUT SECURITY INVOKER COST 100; CREATE TRIGGER "registrants_tr_test" AFTER UPDATE ON "public"."registrants" FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE "public"."registrants_tr_test_func"(); update registrants set registrant_email = 'lists@xxxxxxxxxxx' where id = 14135; NOTICE: Groupware user already exists: 3058 CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "registrants_tr_test_func" line 2 at assignment NOTICE: TEST: 3058 maxegen=> SELECT public.registrants.egw_id FROM public.registrants WHERE public.registrants.id = 14135; egw_id -------- (1 row) The Groupware NOTICE is output from the function if a lookup is found and returns the existing id in place of an INSERT with the new id returned if not found. I get no errors, but NEW.field remains NULL after updating the record as shown above.
