I use postgresql 11. I think my problem comes from a trigger that doesn't do an update so the next trigger doesn't launch.
I have a table projet with columns : projet_temps_doe, projet_temps_etudes, projet_temps_globale.
The goal is to update each columns depending on other columns values.
The idea is : projet_temps_globale = projet_temps_doe + projet_temps_etudes.
I have a first trigger on projet_temps_doe which works perfectly:
create function temps_globale_doe() returns trigger
language plpgsql
as
$$
begin
new.projet_temps_globale_doe := new.projet_temps_doe_gc_bts + new.projet_temps_doe_gc_nra;
return new;
end;
$$;
CREATE TRIGGER temps_globale_doe
BEFORE UPDATE OF projet_temps_doe_gc_bts, projet_temps_doe_gc_nra
ON public.projet
FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE public.temps_globale_doe();
I have a similar trigger on projet_temps_etudes which works perfectly too.
Then the trigger I struggle with on projet_temps_globale :
create trigger maj_temps_globale_projet
before update of projet_temps_doe, projet_temps_etudes on projet
for each row
execute procedure maj_temps_globale_projet();
create or replace function maj_temps_globale_projet()returns trigger
language plpgsql
as
$$
begin
new.projet_temps_globale := new.projet_temps_doe + new.projet_temps_etudes;
raise info 'TEST!!';
return new;
end;
$$;
When projet_temps_doe and/or projet_temps_etudes are updated via triggers my last trigger doesn't launch. However when I manually change projet_temps_doe and/or projet_temps_etudes values the trigger maj_temps_globale_projet is fired.
I want to learn from this, so, if possible, explain to me what I'm doing wrong here, or if my approach is lacking insight.
