Right, and I cannot reproduce the error you get.
Here's what I do (on PostgreSQL 9.1.3):
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION notify_trigger() RETURNS trigger
LANGUAGE plpgsql AS
$$BEGIN
EXECUTE 'NOTIFY ' || TG_TABLE_NAME || '_' || TG_OP || ', '''
|| CASE WHEN TG_OP = 'INSERT' THEN NEW.oid ELSE OLD.oid END ||
'''';
RETURN NEW;
END$$;
Observe that the second argument to NOTIFY is a string.
CREATE TABLE t1(val text, PRIMARY KEY (oid)) WITH OIDS;
CREATE TRIGGER t1_trig AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON t1
FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE notify_trigger();
INSERT INTO t1 (val) VALUES ('test');
UPDATE t1 SET val=NULL;
DELETE FROM t1;
A second session subscribed to the events gets:
Asynchronous notification "t1_insert" with payload "46728" received from
server process with PID 18687.
Asynchronous notification "t1_update" with payload "46728" received from
server process with PID 18687.
Asynchronous notification "t1_delete" with payload "46728" received from
server process with PID 18687.
