Sorry for this newbie-question, I am trying for quite some time now to get the following trigger-function to work properly:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION update_synced_column() RETURNS trigger AS $BODY$ BEGIN IF NEW.synced IS NULL THEN NEW.synced := false; END IF; RETURN NEW; END; $BODY$ LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE COST 100;
The idea is basically to always update the "synced" column to false, unless a value has been provided manually in the UPDATE-clause. Synced is defined as BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE; I execute this function in a BEFORE UPDATE trigger FOR EACH ROW, however it doesn't seem to have any effect.
