In postgresql, there are two parts to implementing a trigger; the trigger function and the actual
trigger on the table that calls this function.
Here is a good example:

One other point to be aware of, Postgresql does not allow your to reference other databases in the
DB-cluster directly. It is possible but you need to add a contrib module called dblink:

Hope this helps,
