Thanks for your response, i made a mistake, the last function is like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Z
RETURNS "trigger" AS
$BODY$
begin
if (tg_op in ('INSERT', 'UPDATE', 'DELETE')) then
update B;
end if;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
And the reason why i made a fake example is because it basically is that, a simple function with a
simple update. I'd just like to know why if i do that update through a query it invokes the trigger
and not when i do it inside the function.
