Hi everybody!
How to write a trigger, to increment a field (numeric type)
even if the user cannot modify anything in dbase?

re: Need help with triggers

Look at the CREATE FUNCTION man page.
"SECURITY DEFINER" allows a function to be executed with the privileges of the creator, rather then the person who invokes it.
I would try this in your situation.
