Subject Re: Recursive trigger

Hi,
by "behaving strangely" I mean :

select * from storedProc1. result (2 rows) = 1 , 9
select * from storedProc1. result (2 rows) = 1 , 9
select * from storedProc1. result (2 rows) = 1 , 9
select * from view1. result immaterial (but correct)
select * from storedProc1. result = 0 , 9

Just these statements are executed. StoredProc1 does no updating,
but does select from view1. View1 uses the table with the trigger.

regards, Colin
