create function ins_st() returns trigger as $$
declare
  id integer;
begin
  insert into person (...) values (NEW....) returning person_id into id;
  insert into student (person_id, ...) values (id, NEW....);
end;
$$ language plpgsql;

create trigger ins_student before insert on studentinfo
  for each row execute procedure ins_st();

ERROR:  "studentinfo" is not a table
