finally I've moved all the audit tables to a new schema called audit, and the tables being audited have now the same name as the 'master' tables.
In the trigger function I want to change the default schema to audit to use the same tablename, but it seems that I can't change the schema in the function.
Also, as now the audit tables belong to the audit schema and have the same name, I'm trying to use just the TG_TABLE_NAME as this:
INSERT INTO TG_TABLE_NAME SELECT CURRVAL('audit.audit_id_seq'),3,OLD.*;
but also isn't allowed ...
I have to specify always a fixed value for the INSERT INTO myTable to work ?
If I use:
INSERT INTO assentaments SELECT CURRVAL('audit.audit_id_seq'),3,OLD.*;
this works perfectly, as the trigger function belongs to the audit schema, I can use the same table name, but I can't use the TG_TABLE_NAME, and I have only two options:
- use the same triggger function with IF ELSEIF to test wich table invoked the trigger function
- or just write a different trigger function for each table.
what are the best options ?
thanks for your guide!

r.
also I'm trying to change the default schema
