PostgreSQL Extension: Insert, update and delete triggers that make the meta extension writable

meta_triggers

This extension makes the meta extension writable, by adding insert, update and delete triggers to its views. Typical DDL operations like create schema foo can be performed using insert update and delete, e.g. insert into meta.schema(name) values ('foo').

Install

1. Install the meta extension.
2. From a shell:

cd meta_triggers/
make
sudo make install

3. From a pgsql prompt:

create extension meta_triggers;

Usage

aquameta=# insert into meta.schema(name) values ('my_new_schema');
INSERT 0 1
aquameta=# update meta.schema set name='my_newer_schema' where name='my_new_schema';
UPDATE 1
aquameta=# delete from meta.schema where name='my_newer_schema';
DELETE 1
