Hello,

I am doing table partitioning, all is ok except that after executing 'insert' 
sql statement I can't get affected rows, it always be 0. After searching on the 
documents, I found that row changes inside trigger function is not visible to 
the top level statement.

Partition table using a trigger function to redirect insertion to the correct 
partition is the recommend way, and affected rows testing is also used widely. 
pgAdmin tests the affected rows too, thus when I type a new row and click save 
button, it seems failed but actually succeed.

How can I make the row changes inside the trigger function visible to the top 
level statement?
You can't. If you need an affected row count, you need to insert directly into the target partition, thus bypassing the trigger.

It's one of those things on the "wouldn't it be nice to fix" list in PostgreSQL's partitioning support.
