As of PostgreSQL 9.0 you can do it from PL/pgSQL by
using hstore module
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/hstore.html)
I wrote an example for you:
CREATE TABLE person(id integer, fname text, lname text, birthday date);
CREATE TRIGGER person_test_trigger BEFORE INSERT
ON person FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE test_dynamic();
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_dynamic()
RETURNS trigger
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $func$
DECLARE
_newRec hstore := hstore(NEW);
_field text;
BEGIN
FOR _field IN SELECT * FROM skeys(_newRec) LOOP
RAISE NOTICE '%', _field;
END LOOP;
RETURN NEW;
END;
$func$;

Hi,
I'm very new to writing postgres procedures, and I'm trying to loop over
the fields in the NEW and OLD variables available in an after trigger,
and I can't quite get the syntax correct.
Could someone point me at an example?
Thanks,
Mike
