Trigger function to know which fields are being updated

[Bernard Cheung]

I am writing a trigger function. How can I know which fields are being
updated in the PL/SQL function?

For example I have a table here:

CREATE TABLE COMPANY (
COMPANY_ID VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
NAME VARCHAR(30),
ADDRESS VARCHAR(30));

I want to write a trigger to block all update statements without updating
NAME. I tried the following code block and it doesn't work:

IF TG_OP = ''UPDATE'' THEN
IF NEW.NAME IS NULL THEN
RAISE NOTICE ' Field NAME must be provided!';
END IF;
END IF;

Are there any functions like the Oracle's UPDATING() predicate?
