Ugh, would someone be so kind as to explain to me what I have missed in
this setup? I have my table (syslogtb), and when a PIX log entry - in
this case the entry is "%PIX-3-305005 blah_blah_blah" - I've read what I
can and thought that I had it understood HOWEVER... When I load the
function and set the trigger I no longer get any inserts into the
database. I have included the table layout, the function, the trigger,
and an example log entry from the PIX.

###
### Table syslog.syslogtb
###
create table syslogtb (
facility char(10),
priority char(10),
date date,
time time,
host varchar(128),
message text
);

###
### Function
###
create function SyslogMail() returns opaque as '
DECLARE
logRec RECORD;
textMessage text;
BEGIN
select into logRec date,time,message from syslogtb where message
= NEW.message;
if logRec.message like ''%PIX-3-305005%'' then
textMessage := ''The following log entry was recieved
from the PIX:'' || logRec.date, logRec.time, logRec.message;
perform pgmail(''Syslog <some_email_addy>'',''Paul
<my_email_addy>'',''PIX Event'', textMessage);
end if;
return NEW;
END;' language 'plpgsql';

###
### Trigger
###
CREATE TRIGGER trgSyslogMail
AFTER INSERT ON syslogtb FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE SyslogMail();

###
### Example PIX log entry
###
facility | priority | date | time | host
| message

HOPEFULLY, I've explained that well enough and thanks for your help in
advance.
