> could you clarify what you are trying to do and why pl/pgsql cant do it? I'm dealing with a trigger function which needs to check the nullness of a column in 'new' and 'old'. The catch is that the trigger function needs to take the name of that column as an argument. (I've tried a kludge which stores 'new' and 'old' in a temporary table, but this kludge seems too unreliable to trust.) - Rowan ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
