Ok, here is a bit more information, When I declare the function as
function(view_name, view_name) an try to update my view. I am getting
the following errors:
ERROR: record type has not been registered
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "clmhdr_view_update" while storing call
arguments into local variables
My rule is doing select function_name(new.*, old.*).
What is pg trying say here, and how to I modify my function to fix this?
Thanks,
Chris
