ALTER TRIGGER
Changes the definition of a trigger.
Synopsis
ALTER TRIGGER <name> ON <table> RENAME TO <newname>
Description
ALTER TRIGGER
changes properties of an existing trigger. The RENAME
clause changes the name of the given trigger without otherwise changing the trigger definition. You must own the table on which the trigger acts to be allowed to change its properties.
Parameters
name
The name of an existing trigger to alter.
table
The name of the table on which this trigger acts.
newname
The new name for the trigger.
Notes
The ability to temporarily activate or deactivate a trigger is provided by ALTER TABLE, not by ALTER TRIGGER
, because ALTER TRIGGER
has no convenient way to express the option of activating or deactivating all of a table's triggers at once.
Note that Cloudberry Database has limited support of triggers in this release. See CREATE TRIGGER for more information.
Examples
To rename an existing trigger:
ALTER TRIGGER emp_stamp ON emp RENAME TO emp_track_chgs;
Compatibility
ALTER TRIGGER
is a Cloudberry Database extension of the SQL standard.
