don't believe any syntax or examples you see in the academic papers.
syntax tended to change with the phase of the moon.

depending on what you're trying to do, instance/rewrite rules may 
do some of what you want.  see "define rule".  for alerters, see
"listen"/"notify" and "libpq" (under asynchronous portal).
