Hi,


I'm working on a row level plpgsql trigger running after delete,
using a 8.0.3 server. It gets a parameter which is a field name of
the OLD record. How can that field be accessed?

I'd like to do something like:

for recvar in 'select OLD.'||quote_ident(TG_ARGV[0])...

I THINK you are out of luck here.  I hear it's possible to do but in
one of the other PL languages say pl/tcl, though I can't seem to find
an example....

Right, "dynamic variables" aren't available in plpgsql. Check out any of the other pl languages available if you can.
