moddatetime.c
contrib/spi/moddatetime.c
What is this?
It is a function to be called from a trigger for the purpose of updating
a modification datetime stamp in a record when that record is UPDATEd.
Credits
This is 95%+ based on autoinc.c, which I used as a starting point as I do
not really know what I am doing. I also had help from
Jan Wieck <jwieck@debis.com> who told me about the timestamp_in("now") function.
OH, me, I'm Terry Mackintosh <terry@terrym.com>

NOTE that attnum and newdt are not arrays, but then a 1 element array
is not an array any more then they are. Thus, they can be considered a
one element array.
