Re: Problem with trigger function in C

Sorry I forgot to add that part. Here's how I did that:

sn=# create function xqueryTrigger() returns trigger as
'/usr/local/lib/postgresql/xqueryTrigger.so' language c;
CREATE FUNCTION
sn=# create trigger tbefore before insert or update on at_xparam
for each row execute procedure xquerytrigger();
CREATE TRIGGER

Is the function name case sensitive? I had originally named it
xqueryTrigger, but after some error messages which referenced
"xquerytrigger" I renamed it to be all lower case.

Thanks

Joe
