Try it by validating 2 columns, that should do the trick:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION validate_tag_number()
RETURNS OPAQUE AS '
BEGIN
IF new.tag_number=old.tag_number and new.other_column=old.other_column THEN
RAISE EXCEPTION ''Tag is already present '';
END IF;
RETURN NEW;
END;
'LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
If that doesn't work then send me the schema of your table and I will work
on it.
