By using a BEFORE trigger for the first function the OLD.* values are still available when the second trigger fires so UPDATE commande SET montant=montant-OLD.montant WHERE id = OLD.id_commande; has values to update in the commande table. For further clarifciation see: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/trigger-datachanges.html In particular: The data change (insertion, update, or deletion) causing the trigger to fire is naturally not visible to SQL commands executed in a row-level before trigger, because it hasn't happened yet. -- Adrian Klaver aklaver@xxxxxxxxxxx -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
