I have another problem with a slightly different trigger. It's very weird, because it is exactly the same as the first trigger, that now works, except for the table name.
The error is:
ERROR: query string argument of EXECUTE is null CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function metric_int_insert_func() line 5 at EXECUTE statement
The trigger is:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION metric_int_insert_func() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$ DECLARE insert_sql text; BEGIN insert_sql:='insert into metric_int_values_' || to_char(NEW.datetimeval,'YYYYMM') || ' values ($1.*)'; EXECUTE insert_sql using NEW; RETURN NULL; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS insert_metric_int_insert_trigger on metric_int_values; CREATE TRIGGER insert_metric_int_insert_trigger BEFORE INSERT ON metric_int_values FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE metric_int_insert_func();
which is exactly the same as this one that works:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION metric_double_insert_func() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$ DECLARE insert_sql text; BEGIN insert_sql:='insert into metric_double_values_' || to_char(NEW.datetimeval,'YYYYMM') || ' values ($1.*)'; EXECUTE insert_sql using NEW; RETURN NULL; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS insert_metric_double_insert_trigger on metric_double_values; CREATE TRIGGER insert_metric_double_insert_trigger BEFORE INSERT ON metric_double_values FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE metric_double_insert_func();
I can't seem to figure it out. I've retyped some of the lines, in case there is a weird character somewhere, but they got there with a vi yank and put, so that's not likely.
