I recently step over a problem where recursive triggers are really
helpfull, and realized that my idea for propagating changes along a tree
structure won't work without recursive triggers obviously.

In short, I think the server sql engines implement recursion limits because
they are mulit-user. So, if one creates accidentally an endless loop,
the whole server must not be taken down(at least no db-admin must be
called...) and the other applications can continue. There are other
ways for DOS, of course, too.

Mostly, I think, a sqlite db-file is not shared between different users, so
*this* problem of endless recursive triggers ist not present often.

thanks for this nice pice of software,
  lothar
