Hey there,
I have a table named "program1", which looks like:
id INT NOT NULL
u1 INT
u2 INT
u3 INT
ds INT
I'm trying to keep a consitent summary of this table through the use of a
trigger, and function written in PL/pgSQL. The problem I'm having is when
the trigger is executed AFTER an UPDATE statement, there's no way to
determine which uX column was updated. I need to know if it's u1, u2, or
u3.
I've been trying for loops such as:
-------------------
FOR x IN 1 .. 3 LOOP
IF OLD.ux NOT = NEW.ux THEN
.... do this ...
END IF;
END LOOP;
-------------------
Obviously, that doesn't work, and I just receive errors stating the column
ux doesn't exist. Was wondering if anyone out there knew how to get the
column name which was updated through a trigger? Anyway to pass it as an
argument to the function or anything?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
