Right, so as you've pointed out, Postgres trigger implementation is at 
least in some ways more flexible than Oracle, and offers row level 
triggers which MSSQL doesn't even have.

All I said was that you're being too harsh by suggesting that statement 
level triggers don't even deserve mention. You are assuming that 
everyone migrating to Postgres will "miss" the MSSQL feature when lots 
of people (in fact, the majority) don't even use MSSQL.

I agree that having the equiv. of MSSQL's "inserted" and "deleted" 
pseudo tables, would be nice, but I wouldn't allow lack thereof to 
denigrate a useful new feature.
