Problem with triggers and cursors

Hi all.

I'm doing my first steps with Postgres and triggers and run into a problem.

I want to keep a log for all inserts, updates and deletes for a bunch of tables.

All rows in the tables have unique keys which consist of a serverid and a
running number created by a sequence for the table which fires the trigger.

The basic steps are as follows:
INSERT:
- Get the serverid part of the unique key from the view v_systemparameter.
- Get the next number from the sequence for the table which fired the trigger.
- Insert a new row to the log table with the name for the table which fired
the trigger.
- Edit the new row for the original table and set the fields pkey_server and
pkey_id for the unique key.

UPDATE:
- Insert a new row to the log table with the unique key of the original row.

DELETE:
- Insert a new row to the log table with the unique key of the original row.

The log table has the following layout:

CREATE TABLE notifyinfos
(
tablename varchar(25) NOT NULL,
pkey_server varchar(100),
pkey_id numeric (20, 0),
aktion varchar(10) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (tablename, pkey_server, pkey_id)
)
WITHOUT OIDS;

I use a trigger on this tables as defined below.

When i try to add the trigger to the database i get the following error:

ERROR: syntax error at "CURSOR"
DETAIL: Expected FOR to open a reference cursor.
KONTEXT: compile of PL/pgSQL function "notifytrigger" near line 17

Can someone show me the cause of this error?

One other questions:
Is using a cursor the preferred way to fetch data from another table?

I'm using Postgres 8.1 under Windows.

Any advice is very welcome.

Thanks in advanced.
