Hi, Exercise in SQL for all.... Is there a better way to phrase this INSERT trigger text: UPDATE ITEM SET
ITEM_SGT= ifnull(ITEM_SGT,(SELECT SGT FROM SETUP)) , ITEM_EGT = ifnull(ITEM_EGT,(SELECT EGT FROM SETUP)), ITEM_SGT_MODE = ifnull(ITEM__AUTO_SGT_MODE,(SELECT SGT_MODE FROM SETUP)) , ITEM_EGT_MODE = ifnull(ITEM_AUTO_EGT_MODE,(SELECT EGT_MODE FROM SETUP)) WHERE ITEM__ID = NEW.ITEM__ID; explanation: SETUP is a configurable table of defaults with a single row of values - when a row in inserted to ITEM - we want the trigger to populate the default values if they have not been set by INSERT.
