+ <title>A Table Rewrite Event Trigger Example</title>

+ <para>
+ Thanks to the <literal>table_rewrite</> event, it is possible to implement
+ a table rewriting policy only allowing the rewrite in maintenance windows.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Here's an example implementing such a policy.
+<programlisting>
+CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION no_rewrite()
+ RETURNS event_trigger
+ LANGUAGE plpgsql AS
+$$
+---
+--- Implement local Table Rewriting policy:
+--- public.foo is not allowed rewriting, ever
+--- other tables are only allowed rewriting between 1am and 6am
+--- unless they have more than 100 blocks
+---
+DECLARE
+ table_oid oid := pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_oid();
+ current_hour integer := extract('hour' from current_time);
+ pages integer;
+ max_pages integer := 100;
+BEGIN
+ IF pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_oid() = 'public.foo'::regclass
+ THEN
+ RAISE EXCEPTION 'you''re not allowed to rewrite the table %',
+ table_oid::regclass;
+ END IF;
+
+ SELECT INTO pages relpages FROM pg_class WHERE oid = table_oid;
+ IF pages > max_pages
+ THEN
+ RAISE EXCEPTION 'rewrites only allowed for table with less than % pages',
