Re: pltcl problem

That line, in a context where it will get evaluated by the tcl
interpreter, should work.

Do you have a tcl variable called vchtablename available at that point
in your script?  If it is a tcl array, to get its contents, you need
[array get vchtablename] instead of the $ dereference.  However, that
seems not to be your problem.

Can you send the tcl trigger function code, and the create trigger
statement?
