PostgreSQL Triggers

Creating a Trigger in PostgreSQL PostgreSQL Triggers are database call-back functions, which are automatically performed/invoked when a specified database event occurs. The following are important points about PostgreSQL triggers − PostgreSQL trigger can be specified to fire Before the operation is attempted on a row (before constraints are checked and the INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE is attempted) After the operation has completed (after constraints are checked and the INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE has completed) A trigger that is marked FOR EACH ROW is called once for every row that the operation modifies. In contrast, a trigger that is marked FOR EACH STATEMENT only executes once for any given operation, regardless of how many rows it modifies. If multiple triggers of the same kind are defined for the same event, they will be fired in alphabetical order by name. The BEFORE, AFTER or INSTEAD OF keyword determines when the trigger actions will be executed relative to the insertion, modif...

PostgreSQL Cursor

Image
A PostgreSQL database cursor is a read-only pointer that allows a program, regardless of the language used, to access the result set of a query. This conserves the free memory of the server or machine running the SQL commands when a result set contains a large number of rows. Using cursors to iterate over rows of data also offers more control over the SQL records returned and makes the whole process more efficient. First, declare a cursor. Next, open the cursor. Then, fetch rows from the result set into a target. After that, check if there is more row left to fetch. If yes, go to step 3, otherwise, go to step 5. Finally, close the cursor. he following is valid for the cursor: NEXT LAST PRIOR FIRST ABSOLUTE count RELATIVE count FORWARD BACKWARD Using DECLARE CURSOR and FETCH test=# BEGIN; BEGIN test=# DECLARE mycur CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM t_large WHERE id > 0; DECLARE CURSOR test=# FETCH NEXT FROM mycur; test=# FETCH 4 FROM mycur; test=# COMMIT; COMMIT I...

PostgreSQL Procedures

Benefits of Using Stored Procedures: Transaction control allowing us to COMMIT and ROLLBACK inside procedures. Very helpful for Oracle to PostgreSQL migration, the new procedure functionality can be a significant time saver. As you can see there are a couple of similarities between CREATE FUNCTION and CREATE PROCEDURE so things should be really easy for most end users. In this syntax: First, specify the name of the stored procedure after the CREATE PROCEDURE clause. Next, define a parameter list which is similar to the parameter list of user-defined functions. Then, specify the programming language for the stored procedure such as PLpgSQL and SQL. After that, place the code in the body of the stored procedure after that AS keyword. Finally, use double dollar ($$) to end the stored procedure. CREATE TABLE accounts ( id INT GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY, name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, balance DEC(15,2) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(id) ); INSERT INTO accounts(name,balance) V...

PostgreSQL User & Role Management

Users and Roles: PostgreSQL manages database access permissions using the concept of roles. A role can be thought of as either a database user, or a group of database users, depending on how the role is set up.  Roles can own database objects (for example, tables and functions) and can assign privileges on those objects to other roles to control who has access to which objects. Furthermore, it is possible to grant membership in a role to another role, thus allowing the member role to use privileges assigned to another role. Role Attributes: CREATEDB                          NOCREATEDB CREATEROLE                NOCREATEROLE LOGIN                           NOLOGIN SUPERUSER                  NOSUPERUSER ...
