the major modified is not necessarily the last.... but this is an idea! the number of the major modified can be found looking at insert time :> Execute Procedure align_status (( select major from table1 where major_time = max( major_time ) )); maior_time stores the time of insertion of the touple thanks for the hint... this solves my problem! but the general idea was: there is a way for the trigger activated in AFTER mode to know ( and refer to, and use ) its activator touple ? the smartest way could be CREATE TRIGGER trigger_align_status AFTER INSERT ON table2 FOR EACH STATEMENT EXECUTE PROCEDURE align_status ( pointer_to_activator_touple.field ); TIA -- (@_ Ivan Fabris, S.Sofia (FC) Powered by Linux Debian Woody _*) //\ www.darthxiong.net setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu /\\ V_/_ www.folug.linux.it pgp key @ www.keyserver.net _\_V ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
