I am new to trigger. I am trying to create a trigger by following this link - http://www.postgresqltutorial.com/creating-first-trigger-postgresql/
. But it gives some error. The code block and the error is given below ::
code block >>
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION log_last_name_changes()
RETURNS trigger AS
$BODY$
BEGIN
IF NEW.last_name <> OLD.last_name THEN
INSERT INTO employee_audits(employee_id,last_name,changed_on)
VALUES(OLD.id,OLD.last_name,now());
END IF;
RETURN NEW;
END;
$BODY$
And the error >>
ERROR: no language specified
SQL state: 42P13
Can anyone help me please ?
Try this way:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION log_last_name_changes()
RETURNS trigger AS
$BODY$
BEGIN
IF NEW.last_name <> OLD.last_name THEN
INSERT INTO employee_audits(employee_id,last_name,changed_on)
VALUES(OLD.id,OLD.last_name,now());
END IF;
RETURN NEW;
END;
$BODY$
