Thanks Tom
But my problem with this solution comes whan I try to qualify with a
'where' clause.
For instance -
----
create or replace function loop_association() returns trigger as $$
begin
insert into p_id.loops (monitor) values (new.devices_id)
where new.device_number = library.devices.device_number
and library.devices.type_ = 'mon' ;
return null ;
end ;
$$ language plpgsql ;
create trigger loop after insert on p_id.devices
for each row execute procedure loop_association();
----
Gives me an error.
What am I doing wrong?
Bob
