NAME

       CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER - define a new constraint trigger

SYNOPSIS

       CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER name
	   AFTER event [ OR ... ]
	   ON table_name
	   [ FROM referenced_table_name ]
	   { NOT DEFERRABLE | [ DEFERRABLE ] { INITIALLY IMMEDIATE | INITIALLY DEFERRED } }
	   FOR EACH ROW
	   EXECUTE PROCEDURE funcname ( arguments )

DESCRIPTION

       CREATE  CONSTRAINT TRIGGER creates a constraint trigger. This is the same as a regular trigger except that the timing of the trigger firing
       can be adjusted using SET CONSTRAINTS [set_constraints(7)].  Constraint triggers must be AFTER ROW triggers. They can be  fired	either	at
       the  end of the statement causing the triggering event, or at the end of the containing transaction; in the latter case they are said to be
       deferred. A pending deferred-trigger firing can also be forced to happen immediately by using SET CONSTRAINTS.

PARAMETERS

       name   The name of the constraint trigger. This is also the name to use when modifying the trigger's behavior using SET	CONSTRAINTS.   The
	      name cannot be schema-qualified -- the trigger inherits the schema of its table.

       event  One of INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE; this specifies the event that will fire the trigger. Multiple events can be specified using OR.

       table_name
	      The (possibly schema-qualified) name of the table in which the triggering events occur.

       referenced_table_name
	      The  (possibly schema-qualified) name of another table referenced by the constraint. This option is used for foreign-key constraints
	      and is not recommended for general use.

       DEFERRABLE

       NOT DEFERRABLE

       INITIALLY IMMEDIATE

       INITIALLY DEFERRED
	      The default timing of the trigger.  See the CREATE TABLE [create_table(7)] documentation for details of these constraint options.

       funcname
	      The function to call when the trigger is fired. See CREATE TRIGGER [create_trigger(7)] for details.

       arguments
	      Optional argument strings to pass to the trigger function. See CREATE TRIGGER [create_trigger(7)] for details.

COMPATIBILITY

       CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER is a PostgreSQL extension of the SQL standard.
