I have 2 tables which are my_school and my_class
And "my_school" table has 'info_id' column and also "my_class" table has 'info_id' then I want to get a query that automatically generate "info_id" then I found solution..
Here are my working TRIGGER on "my_school" table...
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER info_id
before insert on my_direction
for each row
begin
if :NEW.WAY_ID is null then
:NEW.WAY_ID := example_id_seq.nextval;
end if;
end;
It works and it's generating auto id when inserting value.
But now how to get this trigger do it on "my_class" table when users insert value on my_school's table then take id with "my_class" table's "info_id" column same time?
You can create trigger on my_school table to update info_id similar to that you have explained and while inserting records, use returning into clause.
Declare a variable to store returned value, for example
v_info_id number(9);
And use it in returning into clause
insert into my_school(column.......list)
values (values........list)
RETURNING info_id INTO v_info_id;
Use v_info_id in your program to insert value of info_id into another tables.

I'm trying to set an "after insert" trigger that executes a procedure. The procedure would take all inserted rows in table A, group them by a column and insert the result in a table B. I know about "new" variable but it gets inserted rows one by one. Is it possible to get all of them?
I think I can't use a for each row statement as I need to group rows depending on the "trackCode" variable, shared by different rows in tableA.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Public.my_procedure(**inserted rows in tableA?**)
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'
AS $$
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Public."tableB" ("TrackCode", "count")
SELECT "TrackCode", count(*) as "count" FROM Public."tableA" --new inserted rows in this table
GROUP BY "vmsint"."TrackCode" ;
COMMIT;
END;
$$;
create trigger Public.my_trigger
after insert ON Public.tableA
execute procedure Public.my_procedure(**inserted rows in tableA?**)
Thank you!
You create a statement lever trigger, but do not attempt to pass parameters. Instead use the clause referencing new table as reference_table_name. In the trigger function you use the reference_table_name in place of the actual table name. Something like: (see demo)
create or replace function group_a_ais()
returns trigger
language 'plpgsql'
as $$
begin
insert into table_b(track_code, items)
select track_code, count(*)
from rows_inserted_to_a
group by track_code ;
return null;
end;
$$;
create trigger table_a_ais
after insert on table_a
referencing new table as rows_inserted_to_a
for each statement
execute function group_a_ais();
Do not attempt to commit in a trigger, it is a very bad id even if allowed. Suppose the insert to the main table is part of a larger transaction, which fails later in its process.
Be sure to refer to links provided by Adrian.
I have this INSERT query, which purpose is to insert the one row in my database.
Similarly I also have a INSERT query which insert multiple rows.
One of the columns in the table is generated after the values has been generated, since it combines a set of column values to construct a name. The name itself it generated from a Trigger, and its triggered After insert, since the column values has to exist for me to generate the name.
my problem now is when I insert one row or multiple rows, I want to know the the generated column value, but when I return it, it states its null?
#$"INSERT INTO registration_table (id, ...,)
VALUES (1,...,)
RETURNING row_id, name;";
which in return gives me an id the one I inserted, but the not actual name but instead I get null..
The trigger is pretty straight forward
CREATE TRIGGER name_insert_trigger
AFTER INSERT
ON registration_table
REFERENCING NEW TABLE AS new_inserts
FOR EACH STATEMENT
WHEN (pg_trigger_depth() = 0)
EXECUTE PROCEDURE registration_entry_name();
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION registration_entry_name()
RETURNS trigger AS
$$
DECLARE
BEGIN
UPDATE registration_table
SET name = |Pattern| -- This one being the actual name generated..
FROM new_inserts
WHERE new_inserts.row_id = registration_table.row_id;
RETURN null;
END;
$$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;
but the insert query above does not return the name?
why not?
You actually need a BEFORE trigger, your data values will be there. The designation of Before and After very often causes misconceptions especially of row level triggers. The terms do not indicate their timing in relation to the DML. I have found it useful to think of them as "before final data values are set" and "after final data values are set" but both run before the invoking DML completes (for now we will bypass deferred triggers). Lets look at inserts. When the before row trigger fires the NEW row contains the values at that point for every column in the row, any value not specified in the statement will be null or contain the specified default if any. Before row triggers can can change any column. After row triggers cannot change columns, if present any change is ignored.
Your description and code imply you need to combine a couple columns to generate the content of another. Since you did not specify exactly that I will build an example and demo.
create table users ( usr_id integer generated always as identity
, lname text not null
, fname text not null
, full_name text not null
) ;
create or replace
function users_bir()
returns trigger
language plpgsql
as $$
begin
if new.full_name is null
then
new.full_name = trim(new.fname) || ' ' || trim(new.lname);
end if;
return new;
end;
$$;
create trigger users_bir_trg
before insert on users
for each row
execute procedure users_bir();
insert into users(fname, lname)
values ( 'George', 'Henery')
, ( 'Samatha', 'van Horm');
insert into users(fname, lname, full_name)
values ( 'Wacky', 'Warriors','Not so tough guys');
This setup allows the full_name to be specified or generated. If only generation is desired remove the IF leaving only the assignment statement. Even better if you have Postgres 12 or higher just define the the column as a generated column. This is also in the demo.
I want a trigger that updates the value of a column, but I just want to update a small set of rows that depends of the values of the inserted row.
My trigger is:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER example
AFTER INSERT ON table1
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
UPDATE table1 t
SET column2 = 3
WHERE t.column1 = :new.column1;
END;
/
But as I using FOR EACH ROW I have a problem when I try it, I get the mutating table runtime error.
Other option is not to set the FOR EACH ROW, but if I do this, I dont know the inserted "column1" for comparing (or I dont know how to known it).
What can I do for UPDATING a set of rows that depends of the last inserted row?
I am using Oracle 9.
You should avoid the DML statements on the same table as defined in a trigger. Use before DML to change values of the current table.
create or replace trigger example
before insert on table1
for each row
begin
:new.column2 := 3;
end;
/
You can modify the same table with pragma autonomous_transaction:
create or replace trigger example
after insert on table1 for each row
declare
procedure setValues(key number) is
pragma autonomous_transaction;
begin
update table1 t
set column2 = 3
where t.column1 = key
;
end setValues;
begin
setValues(:new.column1);
end;
/
But I suggest you follow #GordonLinoff answere to your question - it's a bad idea to modify the same table in the trigger body.

If you need to update multiple rows in table1 when you are updating one row, then you would seem to have a problem with the data model.
This need suggests that you need a separate table with one row per column1. You can then fetch the value in that table using join. The trigger will then be updating another table, so there will be no mutation problem.
`create table A
(
a INTEGER,
b CHAR(10)
);
create table B
(
b CHAR (10),
d INTEGER
);
create trigger trig1
AFTER INSERT ON A
REFERENCING NEW AS newROW
FOR EACH ROW
when(newROW.a<=10)
BEGIN
INSERT into B values(:newROW.b,:newROW.a);
END trig1;
insert into A values(11,'Gananjay');
insert into A values(5,'Hritik');
select * from A;
select * from B;`
This is my create trigger statement:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER time_of_inserts
AFTER INSERT ON t_workers
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SELECT pk_workerid, sysdate archivetime
into t_logtable
from t_workers
END;
What I want is, every time when I insert a new row into the t_workers table, I want to insert a new primary key (it could be unique from 1, or copying the inserted data), and the time of the insert into a new table (T_logTable). But I don't know how to insert this into a new table every time. You can see above, what I've came up so far.
"my main problem is inserting into a new table, every time it's triggered"
But you're not inserting, you're selecting. To insert you need to specify the insert keyword :)
Also, you don't want to select from the triggering table: use the :NEW namespace instead.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER time_of_inserts
AFTER INSERT ON t_workers
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
insert into t_logtable
values (:new.pk_workerid , sysdate );
END;
To remove the apparent confusion, SELECT ... INTO populates a local (PL/SQL) variable. It is not the syntax we use for inserting into a table.
I have a table ARCHIVED_TIMESTAMP with columns ID INT, ID_ELEMENT REFERENCES ELEMENT(ID) and ARCHIVED_TIMESTAMP TIMESTAMP
I want to create a trigger that automatically inserts in the table ARCHIVED_TIMESTAMP after every insert in the ELEMENT table the id of the inserted element (ID_ELEMENT=ID) and the timestamp from the insertion(ARCHIVED_TIMESTAMP=CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
If I understood correctly then please try something like this:
CREATE TRIGGER TRG_ELEMENT_FOR_INS ON ELEMENT
FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ARCHIVED_TIMESTAMP(ID_ELEMENT, ARCHIVED_TIMESTAMP)
SELECT INS.ID
, INS.CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
FROM Inserted INS
END -- End trigger TRG_ELEMENT_FOR_INS
