The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/functions-event-triggers.html Description:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/functions-event-triggers.html Two issues here: 1) The CREATE EVENT TRIGGER command in the sample code does not execute (see output below) 2) When executed in an anonymous do block, there is no error. The CREATE EVENT TRIGGER executed outside the do block should have given an error saying already exists. Instead it gives the error: "ERROR: syntax error at end of input". ae_lake.cdc> do $docbug$ BEGIN RAISE INFO 'Executing sample from PG docs: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/functions-event-triggers.html...'; CREATE FUNCTION test_event_trigger_table_rewrite_oid() RETURNS event_trigger LANGUAGE plpgsql AS $$ BEGIN RAISE NOTICE 'rewriting table % for reason %', pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_oid()::regclass, pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_reason(); END; $$; CREATE EVENT TRIGGER test_table_rewrite_oid ON table_rewrite EXECUTE FUNCTION test_event_trigger_table_rewrite_oid(); END; $docbug$ [2021-11-14 22:47:49] [00000] Executing sample from PG docs: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/functions-event-triggers.html...
