[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > ERROR: deferredTriggerGetPreviousEvent: event for tuple (0,9) not found Hmm, are you trying to create triggers on pg_shadow? It's hard to see how that message could come from an "UPDATE pg_shadow" otherwise. Triggers on system catalogs don't work very well, because they won't be invoked as a side effect of system-initiated operations. In this situation, it appears that the trigger code sees that the pg_shadow row was inserted in the current transaction, so it tries to look up the row in the list of pending trigger events --- and doesn't find an entry, because CREATE USER didn't invoke the trigger code. In a perfect world we'd support user-defined triggers on the system catalogs, but given the potential circularity problems, I doubt it's going to happen real soon. I'd suggest finding another approach. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
