Hi,

I want to know number of rows that will be affected by UPDATE query in BEFORE per statement trigger . Is that possible?

The problem is that i want to allow only queries that will update up to 4 rows. If affected rows count is 5 or more i want to raise error.

I don't want to do this in code because i need this check on db level. Is this at all possible?

Thanks in advance for any clues on that
