Hi,

what's wrong with this?

---
create table test (id int, name text, parent int);
insert into test values (1,'a',1);
insert into test values (2,'b',1);
insert into test values (3,'c',1);

create or replace function test() returns trigger as '
begin
raise info ''id: %, oldname: %'',old.id, old.name;
if new.parent <> old.parent then
update test set name = ''old'' where parent = old.parent;
end if;
return new;
end;
' language plpgsql;

create trigger test_trigger before update on test for each row execute
procedure test();

update test set parent = 2;
