The real point I was trying to convey (in my previous email) is that these declarations should be part of the trigger *function* not the function-to-table relationship. CREATE TRIGGER shouldn't be in the business of declaring new local variables for the trigger function. Whether we define new syntax for that or re-use the argument list is secondary. But the inconsistency is deliberate, I find the current trigger API horrible. Magic variables... Text-only TG_ARGV for arguments... RETURNS trigger... No way to invoke trigger functions directly for testing. By not imitating past mistakes, maybe we can eventually arrive at a language that makes sense.
