I have a function declared as such:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION thread_sync() RETURNS trigger AS $$
BEGIN IF TG_OP = 'DELETE' AND OLD.deleted = FALSE THEN UPDATE member SET total_threads=total_threads-1 WHERE
id=OLD.member_id; RETURN OLD; ELSEIF TG_OP = 'INSERT' THEN UPDATE member SET total_threads=total_threads+1 WHERE
id=NEW.member_id; RETURN NEW; ELSEIF TG_OP = 'UPDATE' AND NEW.deleted = TRUE THEN UPDATE member SET
total_threads=total_threads-1WHERE id=NEW.member_id; RETURN NEW; ELSEIF TG_OP = 'UPDATE' AND NEW.deleted = FALSE THEN
UPDATE member SET total_threads=total_threads+1 WHERE id=NEW.member_id; RETURN NEW; END IF; RETURN NULL;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
And the trigger for it:
CREATE TRIGGER thread_sync AFTER INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE ON thread
FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE thread_sync();
creating the function works fine, as well as creating the trigger, but
when I go to insert a row, I get the following message:
bcodev=> insert into thread
(member_id,subject,category_id,last_member_id) values (1,'hi there
this is a test',1,1);
ERROR: record "old" is not assigned yet
DETAIL: The tuple structure of a not-yet-assigned record is indeterminate.
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "thread_sync" line 2 at if
What am I failing to understand with this?
