[QGIS-Developer] [postgis-users] QGIS freezes when saving table with AFTER INSERT or UPDATE

[Alexandre Neto]

Uhmm... Thanks.

So there's no way to avoid hanging QGIS while the trigger function(s) is running. I am guessing that if I have another trigger function in a table that is automatically populated by the first trigger, it will also be executed in the QGIS transaction, right?

Thanks Again,

Alexandre Neto

In all cases, a trigger is executed as part of the same transaction as the statement that triggered it, so if either the statement or the trigger causes an error, the effects of both will be rolled back."
