Hi,
 
I am new to PostgreSQL. I learnt most of things from postgresql.org site. I want to write a trigger for on my table tech_projects such that whenever INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE happen on this table, the trigger should get called and the updated/deleted row must be added to tech_projects_backup table. Moreover, if there are more than one row updated then I don't want to reiterate the client-server communication for each row but instead it should process all rows at once.
 
Could anyone please tell me which is the best way (PL/pgSQL, PL/Tcl, PL/Perl or PL/Python). I know the Perl but not aware of Tcl and Python. It would be great if some one could give example on processing multiple rows at once. I am not sure how could I use spi_prepare for this.
 
Thanks, Jignesh
