OK, answering my own post here, but not really satisfied with the
answer. If I create the trigger this way:
create or replace function page_access_insert_trigger ()
returns trigger as $$
DECLARE
part text;
q text;
BEGIN
part = to_char(new."timestamp",'YYYYMMDD');
q = 'insert into page_access_'||part||' values (
'||new.paid||',
'''||new.timestamp||''',
'||new.total_time||',
'''||new.http_host||''',
'''||new.php_self||''',
'''||new.query_string||''',
'''||new.remote_addr||''',
'''||new.logged_in||''',
'||new.uid||',
'''||new.http_user_agent||''',
'''||new.server_addr||''',
'''||new.notes||'''
)';
execute q;
-- insert into page_access_20090427 values (new.*);
return null;
END;
$$ language plpgsql;
It now works. I've tried a variety of constructs of new and || and '
and * and nothing easy like new.* seems to work.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Til then, the explicitly named
fields seems to work well enough.
