I think what you're seeing is the syntax for row literals. You can get an idea of how it looks without having to write trigger functions, e.g.: > select row(1, 'second value', current_timestamp); row ----------------------------------- (1,"second value","2008-02-10 04:00:54.458647+11") (1 row) Note that anything which includes spaces, commas or brackets is double-quoted. You can see it working the other way around by constructing a record using the literal syntax. => create type foo as (a text, b int); CREATE TYPE => select '("one", 2)'::foo; foo --------- (one,2) (1 row) Cheers, BJ ---------------------------(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
