Hi All;
we are creating an event trigger on ddl_command_end and I want the
function to know the TABLE and COMMAND run, for example if the ddl
command was an "ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN X" then I want to pull the table
and the actual alter command. We're running version 9.4 so the
pg_event_trigger_ddl_commands function is not available.
I see in the 9.4 docs that the variable tg_tag is used, and I see some
references to tg_event
I assume we can pass ALTER TABLE as the filter value like so:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION trap_alter_statements() RETURNS event_trigger
LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$ BEGIN RAISE EXCEPTION 'command %', tg_tag; END;
$$; CREATE EVENT TRIGGER abort_ddl ON ddl_command_start WHEN TAG IN
'ALTER TABLE' EXECUTE PROCEDURE trap_alter_statements(); Questions: 1)
is the above "WHEN TAG IN 'ALTER TABLE'" correct? 2) where can I find a
complete list of the tg_ variables? I see this list:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/plpgsql-trigger.html which
includes TG_NAME. OLD, NEW, etc but tg_tag and tg_event are not in the
list. Are there other variables I can reference? 3) which specific
variable will show me (a) the full command run and (b) the table name?
Thanks in advance
