How to apply an update after an insert or update in POSTGRESQL; I have got a table which has a field lastupdate; I want that field to be set up whenever the row is updated or when it was inserted. I tried this trigger, but It is not working! HELP!! CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_update_profile() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $update_profile$ BEGIN IF (TG_OP = 'INSERT' OR TG_OP = 'UPDATE' ) THEN UPDATE profile SET lastupdate=now() where oid=OLD.oid; RETURN NULL; ELSEIF (TG_OP = 'DELETE') THEN RETURN NULL; END IF; RETURN NULL; -- result is ignored since this is an AFTER trigger END; $update_profile$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
