Thanks, this works.

I tried:
web=# CREATE FUNCTION changed_at_timestamp () RETURNS OPAQUE AS '
web'# BEGIN
web'# ChangeDate := timestamp(''now'');
web'# RETURN NEW;
web'# END;
web'# ' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
CREATE
web=# select changed_at_timestamp () ;
ERROR: typeidTypeRelid: Invalid type - oid = 0
web=#
Is this just the wrong way to test the function?
As a beginner I try to validate each new step I do and so I wonder
if I insert the Trigger you mentioned
> CREATE TRIGGER myt_stamp BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON mytable
> FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE myt_stamp();
the function could cause errors.
Sorry, I'm not very familiar with this function stuff :-(.
Kind regards
