Обсуждение: way to pass NEW into function

    Is it possible to trick pg/sql to allow passing of the NEW record
into a function? I've got a trigger that gets kicked off before an insert
and I need to call another function and pass that record in, but doing a
perform activate_event(NEW); /* my function is activate_event(OPAQUE) */

only spits out "ERROR:  NEW used in non-rule query". Is there a way to trick
it into passing the NEW record into my function?

Thanks for any pointers,
Mike

What I did in a similar trigger was set a variable (of type RECORD) to 
NEW and then use that. 

(I actually used the appropriate fields, but record should... work)
