Make your trigger more obvious and more like standard SQLite3: CREATE TRIGGER trig BEFORE INSERT ON test1b FOR EACH ROW BEGIN SELECT RAISE(ABORT, 'no parent element') WHERE new.i = 1; END; (Note that this will prevent one of your existing table entries.) See if you still get inconsistent results. If you don't, make gradual changes until it does what you want it to do. If you still get inconsistent results, you're perhaps using the wrong function to fetch the text of the error message.
