Table name as a variable and/or EXECUTE and NEW.*

Hi All,

I'm trying to build a trigger which will dynamically create SQL statements
in pgplsql that reference different table names (for child tables of a
partitions parent table).
Can I do this without performing an EXECUTE? If not how do I need to
reference NEW.* in the SQL command? Basically if I don't use an EXECUTE
then postgres doesn't like the variable used where a table named is
expected and if I do use an EXECUTE then it doesn't like the reference to
NEW.*.

Here's the code:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fp_eitem_price_insert_trigger()
RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$
DECLARE
sql varchar;
child varchar := get_TblName(NEW.store_number, NEW.effective_date);
BEGIN
-- sql := 'INSERT INTO ' || child || ' VALUES (NEW.*);';
-- EXECUTE(sql);
-- INSERT INTO fp_ep_113_20120530 VALUES (NEW.*);
RAISE NOTICE 'child=%', child;
INSERT INTO child VALUES (NEW.*);
RETURN NULL;
END;
$$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;

Thanks
