HI, Can someone help me with a trigger..... Given table invoices with ID, and Total (and bunch of other stuff) and given table Transactions with ID, InvoiceID, UnitCost, and Units where an Invoice consist of one or many Transactions. I want to write a trigger that if UnitCost or Units change, then visit all relevant Transactions and compute the new Invoices.Total So I figured I need create function ComputeInvoiceTotal() returns OPAQUE as ' begin ....here is where I don't know what to write... end;' language 'plpgsql'; create trigger transactions_trig after update on transactions for each row execute procedure ComputeInvoiceTotal I am a bit confused about parameter passing. Trigger Functions are supposed to take no arguments. that means somehow the body of the function will have access to the data. That would be NEW, and OLD special vars (I hope). And I'm also confused about "for each row". What does it mean/do. I hope its not going to visit every row of a given table. Because the initial update/insert has identified which row(s).
