According to the complainants, OLD/NEW are commonly available as
recordsets (tables) inside a statement trigger. I'm not very clear on
how that works myself --- in particular, one would think it important to
be able to work with corresponding pairs of OLD and NEW rows, which
would be painful with a table-like abstraction. Can anyone explain
exactly how it's done in, say, Oracle?
