Re: problems updating table

--thanks for the reply.

--my first thought was that somehow there is a
--foreign key or maybe a trigger between the two
--tables, but, i'm not really sure of what all that means.

--i am looking at pg_trigger and i see something like this:

[snip from pg_trigger]

460078110 | RI_ConstraintTrigger_460078127 | 1644 | 21 | t |
t | <unnamed> | 16871088

[/snip trigger]

--but, i'm not sure as to how this effect editing / updating sys_users.

--can someone point to the docs that explain why i can't update a table
--when there is a trigger set for that same table? i don't think i'm
--even close in explaining myself, but basically: what does triggers have
--to do with anything?

--thanks!

How are sys_users and hmp_mbrhlth defined? Specifically, are there
any triggers, rules or foreign keys potentially involved?
