CREATE
NAME
  CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER - define a new constraint trigger

SYNOPSIS
  CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER name
      AFTER event [ OR ... ]
      ON table_name
      [ FROM referenced_table_name ]
      { NOT DEFERRABLE | [ DEFERRABLE ] { INITIALLY IMMEDIATE | INITIALLY DEFERRED } }
      FOR EACH ROW
      EXECUTE PROCEDURE funcname ( arguments )

DESCRIPTION
  CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER is used within CREATE TABLE/ALTER TABLE and by
  pg_dump to create the special triggers for referential integrity.  It is
  not intended for general use.

PARAMETERS
  name The name of the constraint trigger. The actual name of the created
       trigger will be of the form RI_ConstraintTrigger_0000 (where 0000 is
       some number assigned by the server).  Use this assigned name when
       dropping the trigger.

  event
       One of INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE; this specifies the event that will
       fire the trigger. Multiple events can be specified using OR.

  table_name
       The (possibly schema-qualified) name of the table in which the
       triggering events occur.

  referenced_table_name
       The (possibly schema-qualified) name of the table referenced by the
       constraint. Used by foreign key constraints triggers.

  DEFERRABLE

  NOT DEFERRABLE

  INITIALLY IMMEDIATE

  INITIALLY DEFERRED
       See the CREATE TABLE [create_table(5)] documentation for details of
       these constraint options.

  funcname(args)
       The function to call as part of the trigger processing. See CREATE
       TRIGGER [create_trigger(5)] for details.

COMPATIBILITY
  CREATE CONTRAINT TRIGGER is a PostgreSQL extension of the SQL standard.
