I'm debugging a trigger in plpgsql and for some reason or the "select 
into <var>" does not seem to work. Here is an unaltered snippet of my 
trigger code: 

       raise notice ''this id      : %'',NEW.id;     

       select into i_hierarchy_id 
              hierarchy_id 
         from link_def LD,
              link L,
              object_link OL
        where OL.id = NEW.id
          and L.id  = OL.link_id
          and LD.id = L.link_def_id;

        raise notice ''i_hierarchy_id: %'',i_hierarchy_id;


in the log this results in:

NOTICE:  this id      : 5265
NOTICE:  i_hierarchy_id: <NULL>

but when I perform the query on the command line I do get a result:

select hierarchy_id 
  from link_def LD,
       link L,
       object_link OL
 where OL.id = 5264
   and L.id  = OL.link_id
   and LD.id = L.link_def_id;

 hierarchy_id
--------------
            1
(1 row)

i_hierarchy_id is declared as integer and is not used before this code nor 
as a column name anywhere.

Does anyone have a clue what is going wrong? I use Postgresql 7.3.3 on 
FreeBSD 4.5.
