As long as it is an insert or update trigger that fires your tcl
function, you have access to the NEW array. The foreach loop uses the
tcl command [array names NEW] to suck out the names of the existing
members of the array. If a column called duser exists in the NEW array
(it is part of the inserted tuple, or not updated to null) you should be
able to access it as
$NEW(duser)
What error are you getting? If the duser column is null, there is no
array member called NEW(duser) and you will get an error to that effect.
