Hi,

Yes, please find below few examples.

OnLogin/Logout.
I want to log/audit each attempt to login (successful and/or not).
Who/how long was logged in DB (who logged in out of business hours (maybe deny 
access)).
Set session variable based on username (or maybe IP address)  - for example 
DATE format.

OnStartup (or AfterStarted)
I want to start a procedure which check for a specific event in a loop and send 
an email.

OnDDL
Log every DDL in a DB log table (who/when altered/created/dropped/truncated a 
specific object) and send an email.

Out of this topic nice to have (I could elaborate any of below topic if you are 
interested in):
Storage quota per user (or schema).
Audit – I know about existence of pgaudit extension but it is far from ideal (I 
compare to Oracle Fine Grained Audit).
Duplicate WAL (to have WAL in 2 different places – for example I take backup on 
separate disk and I want to have a copy of WAL on that disk)
To have something like Oracle SQL Tuning Advisor (for example I have a “big” 
SQL which take longer than it should (probably the optimizer didn’t find the 
pest execution plan in the tame allocated to this) – this tool provide the 
possibility to analyze comprehensive the SQL and offer solutions (maybe 
different execution plan, maybe offer suggestion to create a specific index…)).
Best regards.

Dear PgSQL-Hackers,

I would like to propose a new feature which is missing in PgSQL but quite 
useful and nice to have (and exists in Oracle and probably in some other 
RDBMS), I speak about “Database Level” triggers: BeforePgStart, AfterPgStarted, 
OnLogin, OnSuccessfulLogin, BeforePGshutdown, OnLogOut – I just mentioned some 
of it but the final events could be different.

These DB Level triggers are quite useful for example if somebogy want to set 
some PG env. variables depends on user belonging to one or another role or want 
to track who/wen logged in/out, start a stored procedure AfterPgStarted and so 
on.

Do you have some examples of these useful triggers?

I don't know any one.

Regards

Pavel
