Hi.
Anyone know how to create a trigger that update the table that invoked it?

--------------
Hi all.
I am creating a trigger that update the some table witch call it.
Ex:
create table t1 (
id int, name varchar(50), c int default 0, father int,
primary key(id),
index (father),
foreign key (father) references t1(id) on update restrict on delete restrict
);
create trigger tg_t1
before update on t1
for each row
begin
update t1 set c=c+1 where father=NEW.id;
end;

Something like it... I want to update some colums witch records are referencing by the father record. But when I update the mysql returns: "Can't update table 't1' in stored function/trigger because it is already used by statement which invoked this stored function/trigger"

Why I cant make a trigger that update the some table that invoke the trigger???
How can I build it?

Thanks.
Lucas Vendramin
