(Examples of triggers written in procedural languages can be found in the documentation of the procedural languages.) </p><p> The function <code class="function">trigf</code> reports the number of rows in the table <code class="structname">ttest</code> and skips the actual operation if the command attempts to insert a null value into the column <code class="structfield">x</code>. (So the trigger acts as a not-null constraint but doesn't abort the transaction.) </p><p> First, the table definition: </p><pre class="programlisting"> CREATE TABLE ttest ( x integer ); </pre><p> </p><p> This is the source code of the trigger function: </p><pre class="programlisting"> #include "postgres.h" #include "fmgr.h" #include "executor/spi.h" /* this is what you need to work with SPI */ #include "commands/trigger.h" /* ... triggers ... */ #include "utils/rel.h" /* ... and relations */ PG_MODULE_MAGIC; PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(trigf); Datum trigf(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS) { TriggerData *trigdata = (TriggerData *) fcinfo->context; TupleDesc tupdesc; HeapTuple rettuple; char *when; bool checknull = false; bool isnull; int ret, i; /* make sure it's called as a trigger at all */ if (!CALLED_AS_TRIGGER(fcinfo)) elog(ERROR, "trigf: not called by trigger manager"); /* tuple to return to executor */ if (TRIGGER_FIRED_BY_UPDATE(trigdata->tg_event)) rettuple = trigdata->tg_newtuple; else rettuple = trigdata->tg_trigtuple; /* check for null values */ if (!TRIGGER_FIRED_BY_DELETE(trigdata->tg_event) && TRIGGER_FIRED_BEFORE(trigdata->tg_event)) checknull = true; if (TRIGGER_FIRED_BEFORE(trigdata->tg_event)) when = "before"; else when = "after "; tupdesc = trigdata->tg_relation->rd_att; /* connect to SPI manager */ if ((ret = SPI_connect()) < 0) elog(ERROR, "trigf (fired %s): SPI_connect returned %d", when, ret); /* get number of rows in table */ ret = SPI_exec("SELECT count(*) FROM ttest", 0); if (ret < 0) elog(ERROR, "trigf (fired %s): SPI_exec returned %d", when, ret); /* count(*) returns int8, so be careful to convert */ i = DatumGetInt64(SPI_getbinval(SPI_tuptable->vals[0], SPI_tuptable->tupdesc, 1, &isnull)); elog (INFO, "trigf (fired %s): there are %d rows in ttest", when, i); SPI_finish(); if (checknull) { SPI_getbinval(rettuple, tupdesc, 1, &isnull); if (isnull) rettuple = NULL; } return PointerGetDatum(rettuple); } </pre><p> </p><p> After you have compiled the source code (see <a class="xref" href="xfunc-c.html#DFUNC" title="38.10.5.
