WHERE condition Any SQL conditional expression (returning boolean). The condition expression may not refer to any tables except NEW and OLD, and may not contain aggregate functions. ... This statement to me implies that only ON {INSERT | UPDATE | DELETE } actions can use the WHERE syntax since only inserts, updates, and deletes product the NEW.* and OLD.* tables. Also, NEW.* and OLD.* only apply to a single tuple in the view that is being changed. So I do not think you can not use the where syntax in your query since it does not and cannot reference a NEW or OLD tuple. Regards, Richard Broersma Jr.
