Postgres pre modify data before inserts

#postgres

Let say we want to modify data with only matching text *redirect* in the rpz_zone column, we first create the function like below:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.update_redirect_rpz()
 RETURNS trigger
 LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $function$
BEGIN
IF NEW.rpz_zone like '%redirect%' THEN
    NEW.redirect = true;
END IF;
RETURN NEW;
END;

then we can check the function with \ef update_redirect_rpz

after this we create a trigger to hook this method to an event like below:

   CREATE TRIGGER bind_rpz_log_redirect_flag
   BEFORE INSERT ON bind_rpz_log
   FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE update_redirect_rpz();

Incase something went wrong, you can always check your log like in my case it is like this tail -f -n100 /var/log/messages.
