can i use pl/pgsql to write a trigger to update a separate table? for example if i have a table student: name text, id text, group int, stat int, and another table status: stat text group int count int and i update the stat in the student table, can i update the count column in the status table to reflect the change. in the documents, i just see triggers used on one table. peter choe ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl
