A BEFORE UPDATE trigger would be better, and probably hardly more

Yes. I also prefer the trigger idea to a rule because triggers are easy
to enable and disable. It's still a lot of work for what must be a
common want, though. Could it be done generically?
Well, you could write the trigger in C and it'd work for any table.
I think it could be as simple as a memcmp of the tuples' data areas,
since we now require padding bytes to be 0 ...
Ah. Good. Thanks, that's the piece I was missing.
cheers
