Hi
I have looked through the list with regards to my issue and there are several entries that say that the following is correct for a BEFORE INSERT trigger: CREATE TRIGGER AlbumSectionInsertTrigger BEFORE INSERT ON AlbumSection FOR EACH ROW BEGIN SELECT CASE WHEN ((NEW.AlbumID IS NOT NULL) AND ((SELECT Album.AlbumID FROM Album WHERE Album.AlbumID = NEW.AlbumID) IS NULL)) THEN RAISE(ABORT, 'FK VIOLATION INSERT AlbumID ON AlbumSection') END; END; But when I try to compile this I get an error: SQL Error: near " ": syntax error Also what I want to do is to do multiple RI checks on a table that has many foreign keys... I thought the SELECT CASE would allow me to do this with multiple WHEN... THEN... is this the correct approach? If I use this syntax it works: CREATE TRIGGER AlbumSectionInsertTrigger BEFORE INSERT ON AlbumSection WHEN ((NEW.AlbumID IS NOT NULL) AND ((SELECT Album.AlbumID FROM Album WHERE Album.AlbumID = NEW.AlbumID) IS NULL)) BEGIN SELECT RAISE(ABORT, 'FK VIOLATION INSERT AlbumID ON AlbumSection'); END; But then how do I perform multiple RI checks? I would be very grateful for any help... Many thanks Tareq _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
