The thing that has me confused is that the following table, trigger and

Actually, after looking closer, I think the problem with your previous
example is that you created an ON UPDATE trigger not an ON INSERT
trigger.  Table constraints are indeed enforced after before-triggers
fire, as a quick look at the code proves.  Sorry for the misinformation.

I knew I was missing something really simple. I changed the trigger to before insert and everything works perfectly. Thanks again for your help. I learned a lot.
