This may be specific to RTree indexes - I haven't taken the time to fully understand it.
Dangerous: CREATE TRIGGER ON UPDATE ON tablename { SET RTREE MIN/MAX } Fine: CREATE TRIGGER ON UPDATE OF geometry OF tablename { SET RTREE MIN/MAX } Failure to specify the field name explicitly results in a corrupt RTree. I assume that either OLD.geometry or NEW.geometry is not available during the execution of the trigger, so the engine doesn't run the MAXX,MINX,MAXY, MINY functions, but I haven't taken the time to verify that. All that I can verify is that if I place a breakpoint inside my MINX class of functions, that breakpoint does not get hit, but the RTree is nevertheless updated. One symptom of the corruption is: SELECT * from idx_table_field_geometry, and you'll end up with a bunch of 0,0,0,0 MBRs.
