Thread: Triggers on foreign Postgres 9.3 tables in Postgres 9.4
My company has a data warehouse, currently running on Postgres 9.3, as well as the production servers also running on Postgres 9.3. We have connections to foreign tables from the warehouse, however I've noticed that implementing triggers on foreign tables is not supported in Postgres 9.3, and is a new feature in Postgres 9.4. I've talked to the admin here and he said that upgrading to Postgres 9.4 is possible, however the only risk is for us on the warehouse side is that it is entirely possible that while the warehouse servers will be Postgres 9.4, the production servers will remain Postgres 9.3. I haven't found a good way to phrase this in googling it, but will I still be able to have triggers on the foreign 9.3 tables from our 9.4 warehouse? If this question makes no sense, please let me know and I will try to reword it. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.nabble.com/Triggers-on-foreign-Postgres-9-3-tables-in-Postgres-9-4-tp5839559.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Yes, it will work. postgres_fdw speaks the Postgres protocol and uses libpq when requesting remote servers. -- Michael
Thank you Michael! I will let the admin know then! -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.nabble.com/Triggers-on-foreign-Postgres-9-3-tables-in-Postgres-9-4-tp5839559p5839749.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
