Why not just create a history table and have the trigger copy the data out of the table into the history table with a time stamp of the change.  Then you don't need the query.

For example
Table A
a_id,
a_value1,
a_value2

Table A_hist
a_id,
a_dt,
a_value1,
a_value2

Then A_hist has a PK of a_id, a_dt

This would also be a lot easier to see WHAT changed and WHEN.  You can use the NEW.col and OLD.col to see the new and old values during inserts and updates.

Of course, I don't know your need so this may not be achieving your goal.

Sorry This is the complete message
 
Hello all,
 
I know that this question may be really simple, but I have decided to ask here due to fact that I don't know how to search for this on google or on the docs.
 
I created a trigger fuction which updates a specific row in some table A. Is it possible to retain the query that was used to trigger the function. For example
 
Table A
query_row_id
query_row
 
 
 
TABLE B
id
name
 
 
 
 
 
If I create a trigger on table B that says that after the insert command to write the query into  table A. So if I do
 
insert into B values(1,"Blah")
 
this will trigger my trigger. Is there any way to get the "insert into B values(1,"Blah")? At the moment I can see only the type of query that it is (INSERT UPDATE DELETE)
 
best regards,
Fotis
