Nice post! I agree it is too complicated to enforce this kind of rules with triggers. I like to use triggers JUST to update “:new values”, or to decide wether to accept/reject the record, but NEVER to change other records.

How to enforce complex constraints using triggers It’s very well explained, I think, in chapter 11 of the book “Applied Mathematics for Database Professionals” by Hann/Koppelaars.

Regards,

Joaquin
