An INSERT tuple does not have OLD record. You might be running into problems
with your parentheses and operator precedence. I usually find it easier to
follow by doing the TG_OP in IF,ELSEIF:
IF TG_OP = 'INSERT'
ELSIF TG_OP = 'UPDATE'
ELSIF TG_OP ='DELETE'
with the appropriate statements nested in each .
