Thanks Stuart, but either I am very tired today, or
you must have misunderstood me or my original question
was poorly phraised. Since I fail to see how your
answer helps me to access the 'cons_col' value in the
NEW record?

--
Say for example that NEW contains 3 columns: val1,
val2, val3

In contraints table the value of cons_col culumn
contains a string (either val1, val2 or val3).

if cons_col == "val1" I would like to read the
NEW.val1 value into a variable.
