Well, after dinking around for serveral hours I decided to beg for help on here about triggers and look like an idiot all in one slew. I have two tables. A and B. Whenever A has a row inserted I want to grab that newly created primary key from it's row in table A and insert it into a field in table B. I have tried creating single triggers and triggers that call functions. I even messed with rules a bit. All resulted in either "something" happening but not seeing a change in data or flat out syntax or code errors. I was attempting to use: select last_value from A_A_id_seq; to get the latest primary key. This seems to work ok on it's own. Question is how do I incorporate that into a trigger or something equivalent? Also, what if I have tables C and D that need to be update the same as B is. Do I make more triggers or simply have the function called by the trigger or the trigger itself update all three tables? Thanks. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
