Thanks for Tom's advices.
Here are my updated design.
1. modify backend\parser\gram.y and keyword.c to make an automatic alias
for OLD/NEW record (handle REFERENCING option) for CREATE TRIGGER query.
2. add two new fields (int old / char *identifier) into CreateTrigStmt
node struct to receive parameters from the CREATE TRIGGER query.
3. add one field (NameData tgidentifier) into CATALOG(pg_trigger) to store
the alias name.
4. add one field (char *identifier) into Trigger struct to store the alias
name for loading the trigger.
5. modify CreateTrigger() in trigger.c to insert new triggers into
pg_trigger with the new fields.
6. modify RelationBuildTriggers() in trigger.c for loading triggers with
new fields for the relation being accessed.
7. add supports to backend\node\equalfuncs.c and copyfuncs.c.
Any comments or advices would be appreciated.
Henry
