Hi

I do have a student who is interested in participating at the Google
Summer of Code (GSoC) 2012
Now I have the "burden" to look for a cool project... Any ideas?

What about an extension to the CREATE TRIGGER syntax that combines trigger 
definition and function definition in a single statement?

Something like:

CREATE TRIGGER my_trg BEFORE UPDATE ON some_table
    FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE
DO
$body$
BEGIN
   ... here goes the function code ...
END;
$body$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;

which would create both objects (trigger and trigger function) at the same time 
in the background.

The CASCADE option of DROP TRIGGER could be enhanced to include the 
corresponding function in the DROP as well.

This would make the syntax a bit easier to handle for those cases where a 1:1 
relationship exists between triggers and functions but would still allow the 
flexibility to re-use trigger functions in more than one trigger.

Regards
Thomas
