Hello!

I need to log some row changes in a table with JSON format (row_to_json).

In the Before Update I can select the row into a column with JSON format.
And in After Update I can log this column into an archive table.
Plus I have the prior data in the JSON_TEXT field.

You need to read:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/plpgsql-trigger.html


But this technique isn't working in insert, because no OLD.id. and OLD row:

    select row_to_json(thistable) into json_text_var
    from thistable where id = ???.id;
    No row!!! Only NEW.nn variables.

Yes an INSERT is a new value only there is no old row(value) available. In the doc link I posted:

"
TG_OP

Data type text; a string of INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or TRUNCATE telling for which operation the trigger was fired.
"

Use this to modify what value(NEW/OLD) you are working with. Call trigger with UPDATE and INSERT.


Version: PGSQL 9.6-11

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,
