Re: Simple Trigger Error

Thanks a lot for pointer. There was a 'phonebook' trigger set on phonebook itself, which was resulting in a infinite loop.

test=# \d addressbook
                                  Table " public.addressbook"
  Column  |          Type          |                        Modifiers                        
----------+------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------
 id       | integer                | not null default nextval('addressbook_id_seq'::regclass)
 name     | character varying(100) |
 address1 | character varying(100) |
 address2 | character varying(100) |
 address3 | character varying(100) |
 phonenum | character varying(15)  |
Indexes:
    "addressbook_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
    "addressbook_name_key" UNIQUE, btree (name)
Triggers:
    phonebook AFTER INSERT ON addressbook FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE add_to_phonebook()

test=# \d phonebook
                                  Table "public.phonebook"
  Column  |          Type          |                       Modifiers                       
----------+------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
 id       | integer                | not null default nextval('phonebook_id_seq'::regclass)
 name     | character varying(100) |
 phonenum | character varying(15)  |
Indexes:
    "phonebook_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
Triggers:
    phonebook AFTER INSERT ON phonebook FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE add_to_phonebook()

So, when i dropped this trigger and tried insert, it worked...

test=# DROP TRIGGER phonebook ON phonebook;
DROP TRIGGER
test=# INSERT INTO addressbook (name,address1,address2,address3,phonenum) VALUES ('Andy','House 1','Second Street','Cochin','9898098980');
INSERT 0 1
test=# select * from phonebook;
  id  |  name   |  phonenum 
------+---------+------------
 4025 | Andy | 9898098980
(1 row)

 It works perfect, Thanks again for enlightening me.

Ya, ok. Will try rule too. :)

Thanks, I just did that :)
