Hi.
 
I need to set a value in a trigger if a column is explicitly NOT specified in UPDATE's SET-clause.
 
 
Like for example having a "BEFORE UPDATE OF NOT"
create TRIGGER my_trigger    BEFORE UPDATE OF NOT modified
    ON my_table
    FOR EACH ROW WHEN (OLD.val <> NEW.val)
EXECUTE PROCEDURE do_stuff();
I want the trigger to be fired when the column "modified" is NOT specified, is it possible?
Or - is it possible to check for this in the trigger-function?
