For a very long time, pltcl's spi_exec and spi_execp commands have had a behavior of storing the current row number as an element of output arrays, but this was never documented. Fix that. For an equally long time, pltcl_trigger_handler had a behavior of silently ignoring ".tupno" as an output column name, evidently so that the result of spi_exec could be used directly as a trigger result tuple. Not sure how useful that really is, but in any case it's bad that it would break attempts to use ".tupno" as an actual column name. We can fix it by not checking for ".tupno" until after we check for a column name match. This comports with the effective behavior of spi_exec[p] that ".tupno" is only magic when you don't have an actual column named that. In passing, wordsmith the description of returning modified tuples from a pltcl trigger. Noted while working on Jim Nasby's patch to support composite results from pltcl. The inability to return trigger tuples using ".tupno" as a column name is a bug, so back-patch to all supported branches.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
