Subject: catch an 'update  where false' ?
Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2005 17:13:24 +0200
Message-ID: <42FCBC94.1060403@free.fr> (raw)

hello

I' trying to catch un update that fails to update because no row matchs
the where clause:

for instance:
update t set c=1 where cc=2;
--and no row with cc=2

I would like to perform a
insert into t (c) values 1;
before the update is resolved

I hoped a trigger before update could help me, but it seems
that if where clause evals to false, triggers are not called..

someone knows a way around this ?

thanks
