Hello, I've read the whole message several times and I have to admit I still don't understand what are you trying to do or what is going wrong. I'm not sure what do you mean by 'when I trigger after insert' - the trigger is defined as AFTER UPDATE so naturally it does not fire in case of an INSERT. Anyway the point is you can define the trigger as AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE and use TG_OP variable, or maybe define several triggers - one for the UPDATE, one for the INSERT. Tomas
