Re: Command Triggers, v16

Thanks for testing this new version (again).

A quick answer now, I'll send another patch tomorrow.

I tricked that in the grammar, the type is called cmdtrigger but I
though it wouldn't be a good choice for the SQL statement.

I realized I needed another trigger like data type after I had worked
this message, I need to get back on it, thanks.

The plan is to get CTAS as a utility command in 9.2 then update the

wondering about making its own commit fest entry for that patch, it's
now clear in my mind, that needs to happen.

Stay tuned, follow up email due tomorrow.
