triggers

Hi everybody,

 

I’m a newbie to PostgreSQL. I’ve read that it supports triggers. Are those triggers similar to / compatible with Oracle triggers (i.e. does an Oracle trigger’s code works on PostgreSQL? What are the differences / similarities?

 

I’m about to read the online help on this matter. That might answer some of my doubts. Anyway, any insight you can provide will be appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Freddy.

Reading the docs is a good place to start. If you still have problems,
posting to a more appropriate list would be appreciated as explaining the
ins and outs of triggers is not what this list is for. (pgsql-novice might
be your best bet)
