execute a trigger when I create a table

问题

I would like to know if a trigger on a system table of PostgreSQL can be executed when I create a table

I need to add 2 functions on each table of my database and I would like to do it dynamically

Thanks

I know it's an old question but now it has been implemented in version 9.3, or at least partially http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/event-trigger-definition.html

回答2:

This can be done with an event trigger:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION on_create_table_func()
RETURNS event_trigger AS $$
BEGIN
    -- your code here
END
$$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;

CREATE EVENT TRIGGER
on_create_table ON ddl_command_end
WHEN TAG IN ('CREATE TABLE')
EXECUTE PROCEDURE on_create_table_func();

Note that there is no way to directly execute any query on the newly created table, or even get its name. I don't know what you mean by "add 2 functions on each table" since functions don't belong to a specific table, but if you need to perform an operation specific for the new tables, this might not be for you.

You're looking for "DDL Triggers". They're not implemented in PostgreSQL. Neither you can add triggers to system tables. Look at this forum entry:
