Reading between the lines, it *seems* like you intend to do an append (SQL INSERT), but ogr2ogr isn't working the way you want, forcing you to use overwrite (DROP/CREATE TABLE). Trying to use a DDL trigger seems like a roundabout way to get what you want when the problem is ogr2ogr. So, I would back up and ask, what are you trying to do, and what information is being lost using -append? Also, you mentioned asking this on the GDAL list, did you try the PostGIS list? --Lee -- Lee Hachadoorian PhD, Earth & Environmental Sciences (Geography) Research Associate, CUNY Center for Urban Research http://freecity.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

I am attempting to have the dropped table trigger a function as it is being populated by insert commands. How could you even hope to accomplish the above? If the table is dropped there would be nothing to insert into. DDL trigger was mentioned as a possibility on the GDAL list. Any suggestions will be welcome.

I have a table that is generated through ogr2ogr. To get ogr2ogr working the way I want, I need to use the -overwrite function. If I use the append function information is lost. Something to do with the way the switches work. Overwrite drops the existing table and also the attached trigger . I am attempting to have the dropped table trigger a function as it is being populated by insert commands. DDL trigger was mentioned as a possibility on the GDAL list. Any suggestions will be welcome.

Bob No, because PostgreSQL does not have them (basically triggers on system tables). There is a sparse wiki page to discuss the issue at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/DDL_Triggers and you can find plenty of discussions of the issue in the mailing list archives.
