Обсуждение: Create user trigger?
Hi Chaps, We're setting up 3 servers replicating using slony. I was wondering if it'd be possible for me to create a set of triggersthat fire whenever a user is created/dropped/modified on one of the servers that goes and performs the same actionthe other two servers. Does that sound doable? I'm not sure what the implications of doing this would be, and I'mm not sure the best way to do it.... But this is what Iwas thinking of doing: Have a user table containing all the usernames, and every time a user is inserted/deleted from the table create/drop theuser using a trigger. Then put the table in replication using slony. Obviously I'd have to drop and then recreate the users when I wanted to alter them, and I'd have to meke sure permissionswere set properly to the table. Are there any better alternatives? Thanks ___________________________________________________________ Rise to the challenge for Sport Relief with Yahoo!

There is no support for DDL triggers, even though it's frequently requested. Unfortunately, almost every time it's brought up it degrades into a debate about why we can't add triggers to catalog tables; forgetting that there's other ways to do this. Searching the pgsql-hackers archives should be enlightening. -- Decibel!, aka Jim C. Nasby, Database Architect decibel@decibel.org Give your computer some brain candy! www.distributed.net Team #1828

We have a potential patch for 8.4 for this. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://postgres.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +
