Interestingly, this syntax is accepted in 8.3.7, but SELECT queries fail: CREATE TRIGGER trigger_test_upd_set_last_mod BEFORE UPDATE ON test_upd FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE set_last_modified(); Then: UPDATE test_upd SET foo = 'foo' WHERE id = 1; ERROR: operator does not exist: test_upd <> test_upd LINE 1: SELECT $1 != $2 ^ HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s).

That's not a SELECT query per se: AIUI it's how the evaluation of the NEW != OLD expression is evaluated within the PL/pgSQL function as part of the IF statement (note the "line 2 at IF" context line). It's just saying the <> operator doesn't exist for the test_upd rowtype.
