Trigger Functions

  • pg_get_triggerdef(oid)

    Description: Obtains the definition information of a trigger.

    Parameter: OID of the trigger to be queried

    Return type: text

    Example:

    -- Create the tri_insert table.
    gaussdb=# CREATE TABLE tri_insert (a int, b int);
    CREATE TABLE
    -- Create the trigger_func function.
    gaussdb=# CREATE FUNCTION trigger_func() RETURNS trigger LANGUAGE plpgsql AS '
    gaussdb'# BEGIN
    gaussdb'# RAISE NOTICE ''trigger_func(%) called: action = %, when = %, level = %'', TG_ARGV[0], TG_OP, TG_WHEN, TG_LEVEL;
    gaussdb'# RETURN NULL;
    gaussdb'# END;';
    CREATE FUNCTION
    -- Create the before_ins_stmt_trig trigger.
    gaussdb=# CREATE TRIGGER before_ins_stmt_trig BEFORE INSERT ON tri_insert
    gaussdb-# FOR EACH STATEMENT EXECUTE PROCEDURE trigger_func('before_ins_stmt');
    CREATE TRIGGER
    -- Create the after_ins_when_trig trigger.
    gaussdb=# CREATE TRIGGER after_ins_when_trig AFTER INSERT ON tri_insert
    gaussdb-# FOR EACH ROW WHEN (new.a IS NOT NULL) EXECUTE PROCEDURE trigger_func('after_ins_when');
    CREATE TRIGGER
    -- View the trigger definition information of the tri_insert table.
    gaussdb=# SELECT pg_get_triggerdef(oid) FROM pg_trigger WHERE tgrelid = 'tri_insert'::regclass;
                                                                       pg_get_triggerdef

     CREATE TRIGGER after_ins_when_trig AFTER INSERT ON tri_insert FOR EACH ROW WHEN ((new.a IS NOT NULL)) EXECUTE PROCEDURE trigger_func('after_ins_when')
    (2 rows)
  • pg_get_triggerdef(oid, boolean)

    Description: Obtains the definition information of a trigger.

    Parameter: OID of the trigger to be queried and whether it is displayed in pretty mode

    Boolean parameters take effect only when the WHEN condition is specified during trigger creation.

    Return type: text

    Example:

    -- View the trigger definition information of the tri_insert table in non-pretty mode.
    gaussdb=# SELECT pg_get_triggerdef(oid, false) FROM pg_trigger WHERE tgrelid = 'tri_insert'::regclass;
                                                                       pg_get_triggerdef
