I removed the not null contraint on members.admin and "update items set active = false where member_id=38" results in the count columns in members getting updated AND members.admin getting set to NULL. Really bizarre.
I dropped the trigger function and the trigger, then recreated both, and now they both appear to function properly. I don't remember seeing anything in the docs stating that this is necessary, so I guess perhaps it's a bug? csn --- CSN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a members table and an items table.
