Yeah, but you're still out of luck on 7.4. Its plpgsql doesn't have any
ability to pass whole-row variables into expressions. I don't see any
answer for you except breaking down the row into columns, which of
course is going to be a huge notational PITA.
Sure you can't move the DB off 7.4? There would be pretty considerable
benefits from adopting some recent release instead.
regards, tom lane
