If we do it as you suggest, I confidently predict that it will be less than a year before we seriously regret it. Given all the discussion around this, it's borderline insane to believe that the set of parameters to be passed to command triggers is nailed down and won't need to change in the future. As for special coding of support, it hardly seems onerous when every language that has triggers at all has got some provision for the existing trigger parameters. A bit of copying and pasting should get the job done. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
