It requires a bit more work in PostgreSQL to create a trigger.
From the documentation: "It is not currently possible to write a 
SQL-language trigger function. Trigger functions can be written in C or 
in some of the available procedural languages."

I guess you will prefer to write the trigger in PL/pgSQL, have a look at 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/plpgsql-trigger.html
