Hello all,
I know I may be asking too much, but I have a very limited C/C++ (as well as PostgreSQL internal architecture) knowledge. I've tried compiling the C source code Manuel sent as a PostgreSQL loadable module on Visual Studio .NET 2003 (C++) without success (lots of missing identifiers, "int Datum" redefinition and other things I didn't really understood). The comments in the Postgres 8.0 manual didn't help much.
If anyone could put me on the right direction on how to write/build C/C++ PostgreSQL on the Windows platform (specifically Windows XP) I would be grateful as I really need this thing working as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Marcelo.

Duh! That is what happens when you start having high levels of caffeinne in your blood and haven't had a good night sleep... thanks for putting me on the track again.
I will study Tim's approach more. This thing got more complicated than I thought it would be. At least I'm learning more about PostgreSQL internal architecture.
Thank you for your help.
Marcelo.

I'm doing it form the application layer and I don't think it can be
done in the database layer, how the trigger will figure out which user
is doing the query?, It's the same problem you are trying to solve!

Maybe you can use Til approach with temporal tables.
