Would it make sense (seems possible!) to create the trigger function in the pg_my_temp_schema() schema ?

create function pg_temp_4.TT1_SRL() returns trigger ...

Same question for sequences... (used in my triggers)

Background: All this stuff is to mimic Informix-style SERIALs.

If PostgreSQL native serial would have options to behave like Informix serial, we would not need triggers on our tables.

With Informix serial/bigserial:

  *   INSERT with zero value specified for serial column generates a new serial value from underlying sequence.
  *   INSERT with non-zero value specified for serial column sets that value and automatically increments the underlying sequence.
