`Compound Trigger Dialog`:index:

********************************
|
|
|
|
Use the *Compound Trigger* dialog to create a compound trigger or modify an
|
|
existing compound trigger. *Compound Trigger* is supported only for EPAS server
|
|
12 and above. A compound trigger executes a specified code when certain events
|
|
occur.
|
|
|
|
The *Compound Trigger* dialog organizes the development of a compound trigger
|
|
through the following dialog tabs: *General*, *Events*, and *Code*. The *SQL*
|
|
tab displays the SQL code generated by dialog selections.

|
|
|
|
Use the fields in the *General* tab to identify the compound trigger:
|
|
|
|
* Use the *Name* field to add a descriptive name for the compound trigger. This
|
|
must be distinct from the name of any other compound trigger for the same table.
|
|
The name will be displayed in the *pgAdmin* tree control.
|
|
* Store notes about the compound trigger in the *Comment* field.

|
|
You can select one of the four options available.
|
|
|
|
Click the *Events* tab to continue.

:align: center
|
|
|
|
Use the fields in the *Events* tab to specify how and when the compound trigger fires:
|
|
|
|
* Select the type of event(s) that will invoke the compound trigger; to select
|
|
an event type, move the switch next to the event to the *YES* position.
|
|
The supported event types are *INSERT*, *UPDATE*, *DELETE* and *TRUNCATE*.
|
|
Views cannot have TRUNCATE triggers.
|
|
* Use the *When* field to provide a boolean condition that will invoke the
|
|
compound trigger.
|
|
* If defining a column-specific compound trigger, use the *Columns* field to
|
|
specify the columns or columns that are the target of the compound trigger.
|
|
|
|
Click the *Code* tab to continue.

Use the *Code* field to specify the code for the five timing events
|
|
*BEFORE STATEMENT*, *AFTER STATEMENT*, *BEFORE EACH ROW*, *AFTER EACH ROW*,
|
|
*INSTEAD OF EACH ROW* that will be invoked when the compound trigger fires.
|
|
Basic template is provided with place holders.
|
|
|
|
Click the *SQL* tab to continue.
|
|
|
|
Your entries in the *Compound Trigger* dialog generate a SQL command (see an example
|
|
below). Use the *SQL* tab for review; revisit or switch tabs to make any changes
|
|
to the SQL command.
|
|
|
