gp function cannot execute on segment because it issues a non-SELECT statement

i got errors when i created the partition tables automatically via trigger which is created in advance.

enviorment info:

GP version :4.3.8.1

error:

NOTICE:  Found 2 data formatting errors (2 or more input rows). Rejected related input data.

create trigger code:

create trigger history_alarm_trigger before insert or update on t_fm_historyalarm for each row execute procedure history_alarm_partition();

it is ok when the funtion and trigger are executed , but when the values are inserted into the table T_FM_HISTORYALARM , the parent table ,the error occures.

if i execute the create table statmenet :

CREATE TABLE T_FM_HISTORYALARM_20160101(CONSTRAINT T_FM_HISTORYALARM_20160101_eventtime_check CHECK (EVENTTIME >= timestamp '20160101000000' AND EVENTTIME < (timestamp '20160101000000' + interval '1 day')))INHERITS (T_FM_HISTORYALARM)

it works well.

can you give me some advice? thank you very much.

This is the expected behavior; please see point 8) in the Greenplum Docs.

Triggers are not supported since they typically rely on the use of VOLATILE functions.
