There is maybe bug - these variables are defined, but they has not assigned tupledesc, so there is not possible do any test postgres=# create table omega (a int, b int); CREATE TABLE postgres=# create or replace function foo_trig() postgres-# returns trigger as $$ postgres$# begin postgres$# raise notice '%', new; postgres$# return null; postgres$# end; postgres$# $$ language plpgsql; CREATE FUNCTION postgres=# create trigger xxx after delete on omega for each row execute procedure foo_trig(); CREATE TRIGGER postgres=# insert into omega values(20); INSERT 0 1 postgres=# delete from omega; ERROR: record "new" is not assigned yet DETAIL: The tuple structure of a not-yet-assigned record is indeterminate. CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "foo_trig" line 3 at RAISE so current text in documentation is not correct too.
