Обсуждение: Read values from Trigger out

I have created a trigger function.

could somebody tell me how I get the values from the insert in the trigger
function.
I tried the function

SPI_getvalue(trigger,tupdesc,attnum)

but after starting the trigger, I become this terminating output:

pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
        This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
We have lost the connection to the backend, so further processing is impossible.  Terminating.


thank's for your help

Hello Thomas,
 I have used the same thing and it does work for me.... I was also getting
similar problems initially....

What does your trigger do? does it insert a tuple back into the table? if
yes then that is your problem ... coz the insert will fire another trigger
and this may continue endlessly....

Example:

        TupleDesc       tupdesc;
        HeapTuple       rettuple        = NULL;
    char        *value;

        if (!CurrentTriggerData)
                elog(ERROR, "triggers are not initialized");

        if (TRIGGER_FIRED_BY_UPDATE(CurrentTriggerData->tg_event))
                rettuple = CurrentTriggerData->tg_newtuple;
        else if (TRIGGER_FIRED_BY_INSERT(CurrentTriggerData->tg_event))
                rettuple = CurrentTriggerData->tg_trigtuple;
        else if (TRIGGER_FIRED_BY_DELETE(CurrentTriggerData->tg_event))
                rettuple = CurrentTriggerData->tg_trigtuple;


        tupdesc = CurrentTriggerData->tg_relation->rd_att;

        if (SPI_connect() < 0)
                elog(ERROR, "SPI_connect()");

    value = SPI_getvalue(rettuple, tupdesc, SPI_fnumber(tupdesc, "column_name"));

To please my customer, I'm porting an app from Linux/PG/perl-cgi
to NT/MSsql/perl-cgi. In the process, I'd like to make some testing.
so, I need perl-cgi on NT talk to pg on linxu.
questions:
1) Should I use DBD::PG or use DBD::ODBC.
2) Where I can get the binary files (I do not have the
  compiler -- even if I have, I do not want to get into THAT).

thanks!!!

Hi,
I'm writing some small postgres2www aplication useing jdbc and large
objects.
During testing with heavy load of it I managed to mess up everything:)
I can connect do ny databese but I can't do any query, eg:
bannerdb=> \dt
pqFlush() -- connection not open
It happens with all db I have, I can;t destroy them and recreate them
(same error), I can't vacuum them. Is there any solution except deleteing
data dir adn reinitializing db?
thx
