By referring to http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/ddl-partitioning.html
(1) I create trigger function as follow :
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION measurement_insert_trigger()
RETURNS TRIGGER AS
$BODY$DECLARE
measurement_table_index bigint;
measurement_table_name text;
BEGIN
measurement_table_index = NEW.measurement_id % 20;
measurement_table_name = 'measurement_' || measurement_table_index;
EXECUTE 'INSERT INTO ' || measurement_table_name || ' VALUES (NEW.*);';
RETURN NULL;
END;$BODY$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE TRIGGER insert_measurement_trigger
BEFORE INSERT ON measurement
FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE measurement_insert_trigger();
I can see my trigger function named "measurement_insert_trigger" under pgadmin. However, I cannot see
"insert_measurement_trigger"

How can I see "insert_measurement_trigger" under pgadmin?
(2) When I execute SELECT * FROM create_lot();
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION create_lot()
RETURNS void AS
$BODY$DECLARE
_lot_id bigint;
_unit_id bigint;
count int;
count2 int;
BEGIN
INSERT INTO lot (v) VALUES ('Lot0') RETURNING lot_id INTO _lot_id;
count = 1;
LOOP
INSERT INTO unit (fk_lot_id, v) VALUES (_lot_id, 'Unit') RETURNING unit_id INTO _unit_id;
count2 = 1;
LOOP
INSERT INTO measurement (fk_unit_id, v) VALUES (_unit_id, 'Measurement');
count2 = count2 + 1;
EXIT WHEN count2 > 3;
END LOOP;
count = count + 1;
EXIT WHEN count > 3;
END LOOP;
END;$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE
COST 100;
ALTER FUNCTION create_lot() OWNER TO postgres;
I get the following error :
ERROR: NEW used in query that is not in a rule
LINE 1: INSERT INTO measurement_9 VALUES (NEW.*);
^
QUERY: INSERT INTO measurement_9 VALUES (NEW.*);
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "measurement_insert_trigger" line 7 at EXECUTE statement
SQL statement "INSERT INTO measurement (fk_unit_id, v) VALUES ( $1 , 'Measurement')"
PL/pgSQL function "create_lot" line 14 at SQL statement
It seems that NEW is not being recognized within EXECUTE statement. How can I avoid this problem? I cannot have "static
SQL",as my table name needed to be dynamic generated.
Thanks and Regards
