Hi Susan,
I had a similar problem with a function using pl/pgsql. I checked the docs
(7.3) for it and discovered the following info:
"A trigger procedure is created with the CREATE FUNCTION command as a function
with no arguments and a return type of OPAQUE"
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.2&idoc=1&file=plpgsql-trigger.html
Regards,
-Andreas
