Yeah, i know that...I was hoping it would be possible from pl/pgsql :-(

I'm designing a logging trigger procedure that logs changes from a table
in a source schema to a table with the same name in the logging schema.
It would be cool if the location of the trigger procedure would imply
the logging schema - the location of the log table. 

for example:

        create schema myschema_history;

        create or replace function myschema_history.log() returns trigger as '
        begin
          --
          -- logging implementation here
          --
        end;
        'language 'plpgsql';

        create schema myschema;

        create table myschema.foo (
        --
        -- table definition here
        --
        );

        create trigger foo_history
            before insert or update or delete on myschema.foo
            for each row execute procedure myschema_history.changed();


I thought it would be really neat to imply the log schema location.
Since it's not possible to know function schema, i will probably use
trigger params:

        for each row execute proceudre myschema_history.log('myschema_history');

Or, I could hard code the name inside of every instance of log() procedure. :-/
