Question Do I need 3 triggers for this?
Hello everyone,
I have a simple question.

I want to post an event after a record in a specific table is inserted, updated or deleted. Will I need to use 3 triggers to post this message? It seems like i should be able to do this with just 1 trigger?

Have i missed something or is this just the way it is?

Thanks for your help.
Tim

  IF(NEW.TYPE = 'I') THEN POST_EVENT 'MY_EVENT';
end;
^^

As a sidenote: this only works with Fb 1.5 and up. It's a new feature named "universal triggers". For Fb 1, you need to create 3 triggers, one for each action (update/insert/delete).

If I use this new feature "universal triggers", in the code of the trigger is there any way to tell which of the conditions actually caused the trigger
So i could do ...
Code:
if INSERT then ..... else if UPDATE then ....

Yes, there is - read the Release Notes on this feature.

I believe it's like this:

IF (INSERTING)
THEN ...

IF (DELETING)
THEN ...

IF (UPDATING)
THEN ...

or like:

IF ( INSERTING OR DELETING )
THEN ...
