Thats not a complete function. Okay, see below:
test=# create table measurements(type int, quantity int);
CREATE TABLE
test=*# create table newtable(type int, quantity int);
CREATE TABLE
test=*# create function trg_newtable() returns trigger as $$begin IF NEW.TYPE=100 THEN INSERT INTO newtable
(type,quantity)VALUES (NEW.TYPE, NEW.QUANTITY); END IF; return new; END; $$language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
test=*# create trigger mytrigger before insert on measurements for each row execute procedure trg_newtable();
CREATE TRIGGER
test=*# insert into measurements values (1,1);
INSERT 0 1
test=*# insert into measurements values (100,100);
INSERT 0 1
test=*# select * from measurements;
type | quantity
------+----------
1 | 1
100 | 100
(2 rows)
test=*# select * from newtable;
type | quantity
------+----------
100 | 100
(1 row)
