I have had a lot of trouble getting a DELETE trigger to do nothing (ie let =
the delete operation occur instead of cancelling it, as required)
The documentation on this is very thin on the ground - I`ve just spend 4 Ho=
urs googling and the best I could find was one of the main developers (Bruc=
e?? sorry - too long ago) replying to an email in 2001. Which was to NOT=
cancel the delete operation, you need to return NEW or OLD.
- If I return NULL the operation is cancelled. ("DELETE 0")
- If I return NEW the operation is cancelled. ("DELETE 0") Now NEW is not=
set for a delete (because it would make no sense) so I am thinking this is=
the same as returning NULL
- If I return OLD the operation is cancelled ("DELETE 0").
I am using the 7.2 version.
To me this is either a bug in the system, or a 'bug' in the documentation. =
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Mathew
