Thread: PostgreSQL Trigger and rows updated

am trying to update a table according to this trigger :

    CREATE TRIGGER alert
    AFTER UPDATE ON cars
    FOR EACH ROW
    EXECUTE PROCEDURE update_cars();

Trigger Function :

    CREATE FUNCTION update_cars()
    RETURNS 'TRIGGER'
    AS $BODY$
    BEGIN
    IF (TG_OP = 'UPDATE') THEN
    UPDATE hello_cars SET status = new.status
    WHERE OLD.ID = NEW.ID;
    END IF;
    RETURN NULL;
    END;
    $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

the trigger works fine. when cars table updated, the hello_cars table
updated but status column in each row is updated and contains same new
status ! it must be updated according to car ID.
i think my problem is in condition : WHERE OLD.ID = NEW.ID;
but can't tell what's wrong exactly

Thanks in advanced

Actually 1, 11563 and 11564 are what you get with a fresh new installation.
On a 8.4 install on Ubuntu, the corresponding databases are:

SELECT oid, datname from pg_database where oid in (1,11563,11564);

  oid  |  datname
-------+-----------
     1 | template1
 11563 | template0
 11564 | postgres

Also normally initdb wouldn't work on a non-empty data directory, anyway.
I'd say that either the old data directory has been moved aside at some point
of the upgrade procedure, or it has been wiped out :(

Best regards,

Problem is that upgrade of Ubuntu failed at some point, and after that I
did clean install... So database probably got deleted at some point.
