Yeah, i know that...I was hoping it would be possible from pl/pgsql :-(

I'm designing a logging trigger procedure that logs changes from a table
in a source schema to a table with the same name in the logging schema.
It would be cool if the location of the trigger procedure would imply
the logging schema - the location of the log table.

for example:

create schema myschema_history;

create or replace function myschema_history.log() returns trigger as '
begin
--
-- logging implementation here
--
end;
'language 'plpgsql';

create schema myschema;

create table myschema.foo (
--
-- table definition here
--
);

create trigger foo_history
before insert or update or delete on myschema.foo
for each row execute procedure myschema_history.changed();

I thought it would be really neat to imply the log schema location.
Since it's not possible to know function schema, i will probably use
trigger params:

for each row execute proceudre myschema_history.log('myschema_history');

Or, I could hard code the name inside of every instance of log() procedure. :-/
