Yes, that's basically the same. I try to avoid EXIT command, if possible. I think, my version is slightly more readable...
Ok, I guess there is no simple way to get all changed fields in one command [I was thinking about some clever chrtran implementation here]

I'll try to explain the problem I'm having.

In my table I have a table rule called UpdateUserAndTime and a trigger called _ri_handler("UPDATE"). First fires the table rule. Here I check for fields which were modified and if I find that it's a true modification (e.g. not the same value put in the field) I replace LastUpdateUser and time fields and don't check for the rest of the fields. Then the trigger code fires. At the top it would be nice to check, if either of PK or FK fields are changed (since these are the fields participating in relations). If none of these fields changed, I don't need to execute the rest of the trigger's code. So, what do you think? How can I save myself from executing code twice?
