This prevents surprising behavior when a FOR EACH ROW trigger BEFORE UPDATE or BEFORE DELETE directly or indirectly updates or deletes the the old row. Prior to this patch the requested action on the row could be silently ignored while all triggered actions based on the occurence of the requested action could be committed. One example of how this could happen is if the BEFORE DELETE trigger for a "parent" row deleted "children" which had trigger functions to update summary or status data on the parent. This also prevents similar surprising problems if the query has a volatile function which updates a target row while it is already being updated. There are related issues present in FOR UPDATE cursors and READ COMMITTED queries which are not handled by this patch. These issues need further evalution to determine what change, if any, is needed. Where the new error messages are generated, in most cases the best fix will be to move code from the BEFORE trigger to an AFTER trigger. Where this is not feasible, the trigger can avoid the error by re-issuing the triggering statement and returning NULL. Documentation changes will be submitted in a separate patch. Kevin Grittner and Tom Lane with input from Florian Pflug and Robert Haas, based on problems encountered during conversion of Wisconsin Circuit Court trigger logic to plpgsql triggers. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
