- Here are general trigger functions provided as workable examples
- of using SPI and triggers. "General" means that functions may be
- used for defining triggers for any tables but you have to specify
- table/field names (as described below) while creating a trigger.
- 1. refint.c - functions for implementing referential integrity.
- check_primary_key () is to used for foreign keys of a table.
-
- You are to create trigger (BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE) using this
- function on a table referencing another table. You are to specify
- as function arguments: triggered table column names which correspond
- to foreign key, referenced table name and column names in referenced
- table which correspond to primary/unique key.
- You may create as many triggers as you need - one trigger for
- one reference.
- check_foreign_key () is to used for primary/unique keys of a table.
- You are to create trigger (BEFORE DELETE OR UPDATE) using this
- function on a table referenced by another table(s). You are to specify
- as function arguments: number of references for which function has to
- performe checking, action if referencing key found ('cascade' - to delete
- corresponding foreign key, 'restrict' - to abort transaction if foreign keys
- exist, 'setnull' - to set foreign key referencing primary/unique key
- being deleted to null), triggered table column names which correspond
- to primary/unique key, referencing table name and column names corresponding
- to foreign key (, ... - as many referencing tables/keys as specified
- by first argument).
- Note, that NOT NULL constraint and unique index have to be defined by
- youself.
- There are examples in refint.example and regression tests
- (sql/triggers.sql).
- To CREATE FUNCTIONs use refint.sql (will be made by gmake from
- refint.source).

- I think that cascade mode is to be considered like that the operation over
- main table is to be made also in referenced table .
- When i Delete , i must delete from referenced table ,
- but when i update , i update referenced table and not delete like unmodified refint.c .
- I made a patch that when i update it check the type of modified key ( if is a text , char() i
- added '') and then create a update query that do the right think .
- For my point of view that policy is helpfull because i do not have in referenced table
- loss of information .
- In preprocessor subdir i have placed a little utility that from a SQL92 table definition,
- it create all trigger for foreign key .
- the schema that i use to analyze the problem is this
- create table
- A
- ( key int4 not null primary key ,...) ;
- create table
- REFERENCED_B
- ( key int 4 , ... ,
- foreign key ( key ) references A --
- );
