Re: Updating

This trigger has an argument passed. When the trigger is "assigned"
I know whether the column is of type txt or float.

It uses the column name to determine what to do.

Hope this helps Allan

create or replace function insert_if_diff() returns trigger as
$BODY$
declare
r record;

begin
for r in execute 'select ' || TG_ARGV[0] || ' from ' || TG_TABLE_NAME || ' order by dt desc limit 1;'
loop
if TG_ARGV[0] = 'value'
then
if new.value = r.value
then
return null;
end if;
end if;

if TG_ARGV[0] = 'txt'
then
if new.txt = r.txt
then
return null;
end if;
end if;

return new;
end loop;

return NEW;
end;

$BODY$
