Re: Audit Logs, Tables and Triggers using PLTCL (plain text) RESOLVED - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Ultimately I have resolved my trouble...

(THANK YOU FOR THE CODE Ian)

I not exactly sure what ultimately resolved the issue...

Had to be a "'" or something somewhere that I missed while copy past
from your original post...

Go figure...I know I dropped and recreated at least a dozen times

Anyway...it is working now with "exists"

I appreciate your reply and the use of your code

Jim

It looks like the latest version of tcl has changed the "info exists"
command to "info exist"

Try changing that and recreating the functions.

Sorry my original post was in HTML format ...Damn Outlook



I have been playing with some code I found at a post by Ian Harding on
Oct 14th 04





Insert, Delete Logging work great however



But when I do an Update



I get the following error:



Local Windows install of PostgreSQL v8.1.3

ActiveTCL v8.4.13





(ERROR: wrong # args: should be "info exist varName"

CONTEXT: wrong # args: should be "info exist varName"

  While executing

"info exists

"

  (procedure "__PLTcl_proc_17515Ptrigger_17025 line 68)

Invoked from within .....)





Can someone please help me to understand why this error is occurring and
perhaps tell me how to fix it



Here is the Code I trimmed from Ian on his October Post:

Here's what I do... It's not pretty but it works.

create table auditlog (

        newval text null);
