Hoorah! I was able to complete my single PL/pgSQL function to create history records tracking individual field value changes generically for all my tables. Some developers call this an "audit trail", though an accountant might say otherwise.

I made auditing based on triggers like aforementioned. And now I need fill audit table with already presented data. But there is a problem.

within trigger
EXECUTE 'SELECT ($1)."name"::text' INTO newVal USING NEW;
works fine

but function (table "decor" has field "name")
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "odb_InitLog"()
  RETURNS void AS
DECLARE
  obj record;
BEGIN
  FOR obj IN (SELECT * FROM "decor") LOOP
    EXECUTE 'SELECT ($1)."name"::text' INTO newVal USING obj;
  END LOOP;
END;
doesn't work - ERROR: could not identify column "name" in record data type

Why?
