Thanks Ian for such a quick response. But my NEW.* will be 10-15 columns
row.
test=# CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION tmp_trigger_function()
test-# RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$
test$# DECLARE
test$# stmt text;
test$# abc varchar;
test$# BEGIN
test$# select to_char(NEW.a::timestamp,'yyyymmdd') into abc ;
test$# stmt := 'insert into ' || tmp || abc || ' VALUES ($1)'
test$# EXECUTE stmt USING NEW.*;
test$# RETURN NULL;
test$# END;
test$# $$
test-# LANGUAGE plpgsql;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "EXECUTE"
LINE 9: EXECUTE stmt USING NEW.*;
^
Time: 0.737 ms
test=#
Thanks
