PostgreSQL trigger to generate codes for multiple tables dynamically

Question

I\'d like to generate codes for many tables in the database, and stopped to refactor my solution when I was ready to write my third implementation of \"get code for table X\

Answer 1

NEW is type RECORD, so you can't assign to that AFAIK.

To set the value of a column, assign to NEW.column, for example:

NEW.tenant_code := (SELECT some_calculation);

Maybe your design is too complicated; PL/SQL is a very limited language - try to make your code as simple as possible
