+ To obtain the values of the fields the record is made up of,
+ the record variable can be qualified with the column or field
+ name. This can be done either by literally using the column name
+ or the column name for indexing the record can be taken out of a scalar
+ variable. The syntax for this notation is Record_variable.(IndexVariable).
+ To get information about the column field names of the record,
+ a special expression exists that returns all column names as an array:
+ RecordVariable.(*) .
+ Thus, the RECORD can be viewed
+ as an associative array that allows for introspection of it's contents.
+ This feature is especially useful for writing generic triggers that
+ operate on records with unknown structure.
+ Here is an example procedure that shows column names and values
+ of the predefined record NEW in a trigger procedure:
+<programlisting>
+
+CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION show_associative_records() RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$
+ DECLARE
+ colname TEXT;
+ colcontent TEXT;
+ colnames TEXT[];
+ coln INT4;
+ coli INT4;
+ BEGIN
+-- obtain an array with all field names of the record
+ colnames := NEW.(*);
+ RAISE NOTICE 'All column names of test record: %', colnames;
+-- show field names and contents of record
+ coli := 1;
+ coln := array_upper(colnames,1);
+ RAISE NOTICE 'Number of columns in NEW: %', coln;
+ FOR coli IN 1 .. coln LOOP
+ colname := colnames[coli];
+ colcontent := NEW.(colname);
+ RAISE NOTICE 'column % of NEW: %', quote_ident(colname), quote_literal(colcontent);
+ END LOOP;
+-- Do it with a fixed field name:
+-- will have to know the column name
+ RAISE NOTICE 'column someint of NEW: %', quote_literal(NEW.someint);
+ RETURN NULL;
+ END;
+$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
+--CREATE TABLE test_records (someint INT8, somestring TEXT);
+--CREATE TRIGGER tr_test_record BEFORE INSERT ON test_records FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE show_associative_records();
+
+</programlisting>
