In the online documentation: https://sqlite.org/lang_createtrigger.html
It says:
At this time SQLite supports only FOR EACH ROW triggers, not FOR
EACH STATEMENT triggers. Hence explicitly specifying FOR EACH ROW is
optional. FOR EACH ROW implies that the SQL statements specified in
the trigger may be executed (depending on the WHEN clause) for each
database row being inserted, updated or deleted by the statement
causing the trigger to fire.
So that makes sense (I think) and isn't causing a problem for me but
then, a little further on it says:
If a WHEN clause is supplied, the SQL statements specified are only
executed for rows for which the WHEN clause is true. If no WHEN
clause is supplied, the SQL statements are executed for all rows.
My quandary comes from the last part of that statement "executed for all
rows". Does that mean "for all rows in the table" or does it mean "for
all rows /modified/ in the table" or "all rows previously mentioned as
being inserted, updated, or deleted by the statement causing the trigger
to fire"?
I know I can "ass-u-me" what the correct answer should be but I really
don't have the bandwidth to go and clean up the mess I might make if I'm
wrong.
Thanks for everyone's time!
