Since I can't tell what you're precisely trying to do from the explanation above, the easiest starting point is to look at the documentation for triggers and then at techdocs.postgresql.org for a couple trigger examples. However, I don't believe you can guarantee that the foreign key trigger is going to happen before your trigger. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
