Hello everybody,
I have little problems with a function/trigger in Pl/pgSQL.
I want to call this function with 2 arguments:
- the name of a table
- the name of a column
So it looks like :
CREATE  FUNCTION attribute_max(table name,column name)
The creation is successfull, but, when I look after what's the function
looks like, it's something like this:
FUNCTION attribute_max(name,name)

I'm unable to call this function, by a trigger for exemple :
CREATE TRIGGER "trigger" BEFORE INSERT
   ON status FOR EACH ROW
   EXECUTE PROCEDURE public.attribute_max(table1, column1);
I have this error: function public.attribute_max() does not exist.
I have tried to put table1 and column1 into single and double quotes,
and protected by \ also.

Can anyone help me, where am I wrong?
Regards,
Vincent
