Don't think so. Triggers run with the permissions of the creator, not the
caller though so you might want to look into that.

Could you quote a few lines of code either side - especially something with
the $1

Well it should be INSERT INTO ... but I presume this is a cut & paste issue.

So you have variable names the same as all the field names? I'd probably
change them (stick v_ on the front or something). Even if plpgsql doesn't
get confused readers will.
