Only wanted to indicate further that I know that IF loop is bad logic in itself, where oper will get overwritten in each case. I've now got the following instead:
CREATE FUNCTION online_pct_trig() RETURNS opaque AS ' DECLARE i1hr timestamp; i1day timestamp; i1wk timestamp; i1mo timestamp; i1yr timestamp; oper varchar; BEGIN SELECT o.isodt1hr INTO i1hr, o.isodt1day INTO i1day, o.isodt1wk INTO i1wk, o.isodt1mo INTO i1mo, o.isodt1yr INTO i1yr FROM online_pct o WHERE o.id = NEW.id; IF i1hr <= (now() - ''00:01''::interval) THEN oper := ''SELECT online_pct_func(NEW.id, ''; oper := oper || ''01:00'' || '');''; EXECUTE oper; END IF; IF i1day < (now() - ''01:00''::interval) THEN oper := ''SELECT online_pct_func(NEW.id, ''; oper := oper || ''1 day'' || '');''; EXECUTE oper; END IF; IF i1wk < (now() = ''1 day''::interval) THEN oper := ''SELECT online_pct_func(NEW.id, ''; oper := oper || ''1 week'' || '');''; EXECUTE oper; END IF; IF i1mo < (now() - ''1 week''::interval) THEN oper := ''SELECT online_pct_func(NEW.id, ''; oper := oper || ''1 mon'' || '');''; EXECUTE oper; END IF; IF i1yr < (now() - ''1 mon''::interval) THEN oper := ''SELECT online_pct_func(NEW.id, ''; oper := oper || ''1 year'' || '');''; EXECUTE oper; END IF; RETURN NEW; END; ' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'; CREATE TRIGGER online_pct_trig AFTER INSERT ON info FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE online_pct_trig(); I get no errors when I create it; but it isn't invoking the function either - that's what the issue is, but I'm not certain why or what I've got to correct in order to get it to work. Thank for any input.. - Oeln ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
