Hi all,

I'm trying to put in a series of conditionals into a trigger, along the
lines of

--
CREATE TRIGGER UpdateSaleItemDescription AFTER INSERT ON SaleItem

WHEN NEW.SaleItem_ID='7' 
BEGIN
UPDATE SaleItem SET SaleItem_Description='This is seven' WHERE
SaleItem_ID=NEW.SaleItem_Id;
END;

WHEN NEW.SaleItem_ID<>'7' 
BEGIN
UPDATE SaleItem SET SaleItem_Description='This is not seven' WHERE
SaleItem_ID=NEW.SaleItem_Id;
END;


INSERT INTO SaleItem(SaleItem_TaxRate) VALUES('0');
INSERT INTO SaleItem(SaleItem_TaxRate) VALUES('0');
--

(obviously simplified for ease of description here). 

But this isn't working - I get a syntax error near WHEN (the second one). If
I remove the four lines starting WHEN NEW.SaleItem_ID='8' then it works ok. 

Can I use a SELECT CASE statement here? If so, what's the syntax? I can't
believe that SQLite only allows only one trigger with only one WHEN per
action... can it? 

Thanks in advance,

Hamish
