Re: Create trigger for auto update function >> SOLVED!!!

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION u9() RETURNS TRIGGER AS'
BEGIN   NEW.pass_md5=md5(NEW.pass);   return NEW;
END
'language plpgsql;

CREATE TRIGGER t8BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATEON hoy FOR EACH ROW   EXECUTE PROCEDURE u9();

Ok. This is the solution. It works well, for inserts and updates. Took some 
time to figure it out.
(ignore the function names --- test functions)

Best regards,
Andy.
