I have a function, call it 'functionMain'.  And I have several tables that each 
have trigger functions.  Each trigger function needs to call 'functionMain' 
(with different parameters).

table A => trigger function A ==> functionMain
table B => trigger function B ==> functionMain
table C => trigger function C ==> functionMain

'functionMain' returns VOID (runs an insert statement). and has an 
exception/raise exception block.

An insert transaction for table A is launched (insertA), trigger function A is 
called,
'functionMain' is called and 'functionMain' fails.  Hence, trigger function A 
needs to rollback.

Questions:

a) I am assuming that the trigger functions should use 'PERFORM 
functionMain(....)'?

b) if 'functionMain' fails, then 'funtionMain' automatically performs an 
implicit rollback, correct?

c) if 'functionMain' fails, should the trigger function also contain an 
exception handler
   or will the rollback from 'functionMain' cascade up to the original 
transaction (insertA)?

Thanks.
Lori
