sorry for that, here some code:
-- Trigger #1
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION tgfn_kardex()
RETURNS trigger AS
$BODY$
BEGIN
IF (TG_OP = 'INSERT') THEN
--logic here
END IF;
--more code
RETURN NULL;
END;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE
-- then
CREATE TRIGGER tgfn_kardex
AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE
ON in_kardex
FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE tgfn_kardex();
-- Trigger #2
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION update_remote()
RETURNS trigger AS
$BODY$
import os
os.system('./var/www/update_remote.sh')
$BODY$
LANGUAGE plpython3u VOLATILE
-- then
CREATE TRIGGER update_remote
AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE
ON in_kardex
FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE update_remote();

Yes because my update_remote.sh file calls a php file to update a
table in mysql, and it is updated after I perform another query to
in_kardex, so the mysql table is one query behind postgres...
Any thoughts?
