Using SQLFiddle, PostgreSQL 9.3.1.
I am learning to define triggers in PostgreSQL, and after doing some research I've found out the following:
Triggers in Postgres are different from MYSQL. Where in Postgres you must create a function that RETURNS TRIGGER, in MySQL you can just create a trigger. So this is what I've come up with:
On Employee Insert, we want to update Departments Total Salary.
CREATE FUNCTION update_sal() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$
BEGIN
IF NEW.dno IS NOT NULL THEN
UPDATE Department SET Total_sal = total_sal + NEW.salary
WHERE department.dno = NEW.dno;
END IF;
RETURN NULL;
END;
$$ Language plpgsql;
CREATE TRIGGER updateInsert
AFTER INSERT ON Employee
FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE update_sal();
And I'm getting the following error:
Schema Creation Failed: ERROR: unterminated dollar-quoted string at or near "$$
BEGIN IF NEW.dno IS NOT NULL THEN UPDATE Department
SET Total_sal = total_sal +NEW.salary WHERE department.dno = NEW.dno":
