SQL99 allows you to define aliases for the <quote>old</quote>

of the triggered action (e.g., <literal>CREATE TRIGGER ... ON
|

tablename REFERENCING OLD ROW AS somename NEW ROW AS
|
||||
othername ...</literal>). Since
|
||||
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> allows trigger
|

procedures to be written in any number of user-defined
|

languages, access to the data is handled in a

<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> only allows the

SQL99 allows the execution of a number of other SQL commands,

such as <command>CREATE TABLE</command> as triggered action.
|

This limitation is not hard to work around by creating a

stored procedure that executes these commands.
