Subject: [GENERAL] Trigger with delete
Moin,
I want to setup a trigger that removes entries from a
related table depented an the record in the main table. So
I try the following:
CREATE FUNCTION "delete_aufpos" (int4) RETURNS int AS '
delete from subtable where key = $1'
LANGUAGE 'SQL';
CREATE TRIGGER delete_auftrag
BEFORE DELETE ON maintable FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE delete_aufpos(1);
The create function gives me the following message:
ERROR: function declared to return type int4, but final
query is not a retrieve
What is the return type of 'delete'?
How can I pass the key from the main table to the sub table?
Vielen Dank
Matthias
