/* moddatetime.c contrib/spi/moddatetime.c What is this? It is a function to be called from a trigger for the purpose of updating a modification datetime stamp in a record when that record is UPDATEd. Credits This is 95%+ based on autoinc.c, which I used as a starting point as I do not really know what I am doing. I also had help from Jan Wieck who told me about the timestamp_in("now") function.
