Thanks Adrian
I am trying to understand as to how a BEFORE statement-level trigger can
be used. Since it is a trigger, one needs to know which rows are being
affected.
But you can't:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/plpgsql-trigger.html
"NEW
Data type RECORD; variable holding the new database row for
INSERT/UPDATE operations in row-level triggers. This variable is
unassigned in statement-level triggers and for DELETE operations.
OLD
Data type RECORD; variable holding the old database row for
UPDATE/DELETE operations in row-level triggers. This variable is
unassigned in statement-level triggers and for INSERT operations.
"

Jiten

If you need the row values then use a FOR ROW trigger.
