Ups, it did make some false assumptions.
Thank you for the clarification.
If I understood now correctly, first the type, then the trigger and last the check
constraint is checked.
This makes it also impossible to change the type of a value by a trigger?
Say I would want to change the input of a user to a date, this wouldn't be possible,
because in first instance the type is not a date.
Here is an example I tried out:
CREATE TABLE test(datum DATE);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION function_test()
RETURNS trigger
AS 'BEGIN
new.datum := (''15.06.'' || new.datum)::date;
RETURN new;
END;'
LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE TRIGGER trigger_test
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
ON test FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE function_test();
INSERT INTO test VALUES('2003');
Best regards,
Daniel
