How to find alternative for INNER JOIN in triggers for this case?
I find difficult to understand why proceeding the trigger with inner join function, cmd causes error, that: psql:createTrigger.sql:46: ERROR: "currentStudentNumber" is not a known variable LINE 8: SELECT COUNT(Student_subject.StudentID) INTO currentStudentNumber
--rule, that lecturer can not have more than 7 students
CREATE FUNCTION lecturersStudentNumber() RETURNS "trigger" AS $$
DECLARE
maxStudenNumber CONSTANT SMALLINT :=7;
currentStudentNumber SMALLINT;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(Student_Subject.StudentID) INTO currentStudentNumber
FROM rora3887.Subject_Lecturer
INNER JOIN rora3887.Lecturer ON Subject_Lecturer.LecturerID=Lecturer.LecturerID
INNER JOIN rora3887.Subject ON Subject_Lecturer.SubjectID=Subject.SubjectID
INNER JOIN rora3887.Student_Subject ON Subject.SubjectID=Student_Subject.SubjectID
GROUP BY Lecturer.LecturerID;
IF MAX(currentStudentNumber) + 1 > maxStudentNumber
THEN RAISE EXCEPTION 'Lecturer can not have more than 7 students';
END IF;
RETURN NEW;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE TRIGGER lecturersMaxStudentNumber
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON rora3887.Subject_Lecturer
FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE lecturersStudentNumber();
I have a file createTrigger.sql with such code.
My database reliation scheme
postgresql triggers inner-join psql

The problem is with the keyword INTO
:
SELECT COUNT(Student_Subject.StudentID) INTO currentStudentNumber
Change INTO --> AS
The resulting query will be:
SELECT COUNT(Student_Subject.StudentID) AS currentStudentNumber
Hope it works :)
This error I wrote before in my question dissapeared. But now, when i create a table, then create trigger and insert data to database, occurs: "psql:inserts.sql:103: ERROR: query has no destination for result data HINT: If you want to discard the results of a SELECT, use PERFORM instead." and all Subject_Lecturer table is empty.

Follow the hint and write PERFORM instead of SELECT.
