+.TH "CREATE TRIGGER" SQL 09/25/97 PostgreSQL
+.SH NAME
+create trigger \(em create a new trigger
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+\fBcreate trigger\fR trigname \fB{before|after}\fP \fB{insert|update|delete}\fB
+ \fBon\fR relname \fBfor each {row|statement}\fR
+ \fBexecute procedure\fR funcname \fB(\fR arguments \fB)\fR
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR "Create Trigger"
+will enter a new trigger into the current data base. The trigger will be
+associated with the relation
+.IR relname
+and will execute the specified
+.IR funcname .
+
+.PP
+The trigger can be specified to fire either
+.BR before
+the operation is attempted on a tuple (e.g. before constraints are checked and
+the insert/update/delete is attempted) or
+.BR after
+the operation has been attempted (e.g. after constraints are checked and the
+insert/update/delete has completed).
+If the trigger fires
+.BR before
+then the trigger may
+skip the operation for the current tuple,
+or change the current tuple (for insert/delete operations only).
+If the trigger fires
+.BR after
+then all changes including the last insertion/updation/deletion
+are "visible" to trigger.
+
+.PP
+Refer to the SPI and trigger programming guides for more information.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+Examples are included in the contrib area of the source distribution.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+drop trigger(l).
