Hi

I want to implement a trigger-function witch can fill the following table.
Each data manipulation (INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE) gets logged.
The function should work as trigger on diffrent tables.

CREATE TABLE logtable (
 operation        CHAR(6) CHECK (change_type IN ('DELETE', 'INSERT', 'UPDATE')),
tablename VARCHAR, rowid INTEGER, -
 touched_columns  VARCHAR[]
);

My Problem is in the last Column (touched_columns). If it was an UPDATE Operation, I just need to know witch columns changed. (I am not iterrestet in the old or new value)
=> IF OLD.columnName != NEW.columnName, it has changed.



My Question:
How can I do "OLD.columnName != NEW.columnName" if I don't know what the columnNames are at Compile Time?
I have the columnName in a variable.


Thx for help.
Noah
