This guide explains how to automatically add a trigger to update the created_at column in PostgreSQL whenever a table is created or modified to include that column.
- When a table is created or altered to include a
created_atcolumn, a trigger is automatically added. - The trigger ensures that
created_atis set toNOW()onINSERT. - An event trigger listens for
CREATE TABLEandALTER TABLEcommands and applies the logic.
