<title>A Database Login Event Trigger Example</title>
<para>
The event trigger on the <literal>login</literal> event can be
useful for logging user logins, for verifying the connection and
assigning roles according to current circumstances, or for session
data initialization. It is very important that any event trigger using
the <literal>login</literal> event checks whether or not the database is
in recovery before performing any writes. Writing to a standby server
will make it inaccessible.
</para>
<para>
The following example demonstrates these options.

-- create test tables and roles
CREATE TABLE user_login_log (
"user" text,
"session_start" timestamp with time zone
);
CREATE ROLE day_worker;
CREATE ROLE night_worker;
