I have multiple tables that have the same column names, they only vary in their column values, like: tbl_log_a tbl_log_b tbl_log_c ... 26 tables from a to z. Each table has a trigger that calls a trigger function which does the exact same thing: SELECT columnname FROM tbl_log_a Other than that, all my trigger functions do the exact same thing. They differ in that they: select columnname FROM tbl_log_a select columnname FROM tbl_log_b select columnname FROM tbl_log_c ... So I have to create 26 trigger functions, one for each `tbl_log_%letter%`. Is there a way to tell the trigger function to: SELECT columnname FROM %currenttable% By `%currenttable%` I mean the table where the trigger is placed. Or: SELECT columnname FROM tbl_log_%letter% Is it possible in **Postgres 9.1**? I'm reading about dynamically determined tables. Any clue? I would like to store the table name itself inside a variable, not the columns inside that table, because the trigger function works on multiple columns inside that table.
