The only information you can pass to a trigger function are the old and new
values of the table row being changed and the constants you can supply to
the trigger function during CREATE TRIGGER.
Everything else will have to be drawn from the current state of the database.
One thing you can do is to define your own GUC (configuration parameter)
and set that before you run the data modifying SQL statement. Then you can
read that information in the trigger.
