Here is the trigger the way it is currently written. I add some additional information from another table:
CREATE TRIGGER item_cost_trig BEFORE INSERT ON cdm.cdm_ddw_tran_item FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE cdm.insert_cost_to_tranitem_sub(); CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION cdm.insert_cost_to_tranitem_sub() RETURNS "trigger" AS 'DECLARE varCost float8; varOwned float8; varDept int4; varVend int4; varMstyle int4; BEGIN IF NEW.appl_id IN (''MCOM'',''NET'') THEN select into varCost, varOwned, varDept, varVend,varMstyle cost,owned, dept, vend,mstyle from public.flbasics where upc = NEW.item_upc limit 1; IF FOUND THEN NEW.cost :=varCost; NEW.owned :=varOwned; NEW.dept_id := varDept; NEW.vend_id := varVend; NEW.mkstyl := varMstyle; ELSE NEW.cost :=0; NEW.owned :=0; END IF; ELSE NEW.cost :=0; NEW.owned :=0; END IF; RETURN NEW; END;' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE; Patrick Hatcher Development Manager Analytics/MIO Macys.com 415-422-1610 Doug McNaught <[EMAIL PROTECTED] g> To Patrick Hatcher 01/25/06 11:45 AM <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc pgsql-general@postgresql.org Subject Re: [GENERAL] Trigger question: ROW or STATEMENT?

If you told us what you want the trigger to do it would probably be helpful. -Doug ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: 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
