leif=> create or replace function update_last_edit() returns trigger as
$$
leif$> begin
leif$> update persons set last_edit=now() where person_id=new.person_fk;
leif$> return new;
leif$> end;
leif$> $$ language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
leif=> create trigger update_last_edit after insert or update on
participants
leif-> for each row execute procedure update_last_edit();
CREATE TRIGGER
leif=> insert into participants (participant_id,person_fk) values (1,1);
ERROR: record "new" has no field "last_edit"
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "process_last_edited" line 2 at assignment
leif=>
What am I missing?
