Subject: Bug or feature in AFTER INSERT trigger?

Hello,

today I encountered strange behaviour in PgSQL 9.0 (tried in 9.3 with
same effect).

There is a table and an AFTER INSERT trigger which call a function which
counts a number of records in the same table. But the newly inserted
record is not selected and counted.

When I delete a record and the very same AFTER trigger calls the very
same function, selected and counted records are already without the
deleted one.

I supposed that after insert the record is already in the database,
isn't it true?!

The documentation doesn't mention this. (or I didn't find it).

Can someone confirm it as a bug or explain why it works this way.

Regards,
Martin Edlman



EXAMPLE:

-- FUNCTION

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION tmp.email_service(contrid integer)
  RETURNS integer AS

DECLARE
	sid  integer := 119;
	rec  record;
	vfrom date;
	vto date;
	cmnt text;
	cnt integer := 0;
BEGIN
	vfrom := date_trunc('month', now());
	vto := date_trunc('month', now() + interval '1 month') - interval '1 day';
	RAISE NOTICE 'sid %, from %, to %', sid, vfrom, vto;
	FOR rec IN
		SELECT ma.contract_id, count(ma.*) as unitage, string_agg(ma.email, ',
' order by ma.email) as emails
		FROM tmp.mail_account as ma
		WHERE contract_id = contrid
		AND coalesce(ma.valid_from, '-infinity') < now()
		AND coalesce(ma.valid_to, 'infinity') > now()
		GROUP BY 1
	LOOP
		RAISE NOTICE 'number of mails: %, mails: %', rec.unitage, rec.emails;
		cnt := cnt + 1;
		-- here is some code which inserts or updates
