Re: EXCEPT doesn't compare TIMESTAMP type?

Thanks again Alban. I didn't mention but if I remove the braces then it gives below error but the meaning is same as the error when I specify braces.

techdb=# SELECT insert_history_info();
ERROR:  error from Perl function "insert_history_info": each EXCEPT query must have the same number of columns at line 15.

Thanks,
Dipti

You need to remove the braces from the query in your trigger too, they change the meaning of the query. You use brackets in this way if you need to reference fields from a composite type.
