+ Here is a very simple example of an event trigger function written in C.
+ (Examples of triggers written in procedural languages can be found in
+ the documentation of the procedural languages.)
+ </p><p>
+ The function <code class="function">noddl</code> raises an exception each time it is called.
+ The event trigger definition associated the function with
+ the <code class="literal">ddl_command_start</code> event. The effect is that all DDL
+ commands (with the exceptions mentioned
+ in <a class="xref" href="event-trigger-definition.html" title="39.1. Overview of Event Trigger Behavior">Section 39.1</a>) are prevented from running.
+ </p><p>
+ This is the source code of the trigger function:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+#include "postgres.h"
+#include "commands/event_trigger.h"
+
+
+PG_MODULE_MAGIC;
+
+PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(noddl);
+
+Datum
+noddl(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
+{
+ EventTriggerData *trigdata;
+
+ if (!CALLED_AS_EVENT_TRIGGER(fcinfo)) /* internal error */
+ elog(ERROR, "not fired by event trigger manager");
+
+ trigdata = (EventTriggerData *) fcinfo-&gt;context;
+
+ ereport(ERROR,
+ (errcode(ERRCODE_INSUFFICIENT_PRIVILEGE),
+ errmsg("command \"%s\" denied", trigdata-&gt;tag)));
+
+ PG_RETURN_NULL();
+}
+</pre><p>
+ </p><p>
+ After you have compiled the source code (see <a class="xref" href="xfunc-c.html#DFUNC" title="37.10.5. Compiling and Linking Dynamically-Loaded Functions">Section 37.10.5</a>),
+ declare the function and the triggers:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+CREATE FUNCTION noddl() RETURNS event_trigger
+ AS 'noddl' LANGUAGE C;
+
+CREATE EVENT TRIGGER noddl ON ddl_command_start
+ EXECUTE FUNCTION noddl();
+</pre><p>
+ </p><p>
+ Now you can test the operation of the trigger:
+</p><pre class="screen">
+=# \dy
+ List of event triggers
+ Name | Event | Owner | Enabled | Function | Tags
+-------+-------------------+-------+---------+----------+------
+ noddl | ddl_command_start | dim | enabled | noddl |
+(1 row)
+
+=# CREATE TABLE foo(id serial);
+ERROR: command "CREATE TABLE" denied
+</pre><p>
+ </p><p>
+ In this situation, in order to be able to run some DDL commands when you
+ need to do so, you have to either drop the event trigger or disable it. It
+ can be convenient to disable the trigger for only the duration of a
+ transaction:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+BEGIN;
+ALTER EVENT TRIGGER noddl DISABLE;
+CREATE TABLE foo (id serial);
+ALTER EVENT TRIGGER noddl ENABLE;
+COMMIT;
+</pre><p>
+ (Recall that DDL commands on event triggers themselves are not affected by
+ event triggers.)
