Hi, In my project I have two databases: primary which is an SQLite db, and secondary which is based on a different engine. A table in the primary db contains values which are keys for the secondary db. To maintain coherence of the two databases I use SQLite triggers. The DELETE and UPDATE commands are handled fine, but INSERT causes a problem.
The point is that if the OR REPLACE clause is specified, INSERT may overwrite an existing row instead of inserting a new one. In this case the appropriate record in the secondary db must be deleted. However, I cannot do it because OLD is not available inside the INSERT trigger regardless of the operation actually performed. What is worse, the SQL part of the project is done by a quite different person, so no restrictions on SQL syntax used may be imposed. The solution I need must be universal. So, before starting to invent a workaround I'd like to consult with you, people. I hope, I'm not the first person who encountered this problem. Any suggestions are highly appriciated. Thanks, Alex
