I have three tables:
CREATE TABLE table1 (
id char(8) NOT NULL,
....
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
CREATE TABLE table2 (
id char(8) NOT NULL,
....
PRIMARY KEY (id),
FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES table1 (id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
CREATE TABLE table3 (
id char(8) NOT NULL,
code char(2) NOT NULL,
orders integer NOT NULL,
....
PRIMARY KEY (id,code,orders),
FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES table2 (id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
Now you can see I must insert a row in table1 1st, then insert a row in
table2,
then insert the rowS in table3. That is OK
Now I want to delete an id in all three tables. How can I delete a row
in table1
trigger to delete rows in table2, table3? Since I can't put "ON DELETE
CASCADE"
for PRIMARY KEY in table1.
Now I can only delete a row in table2 which trigger to delete rowS in
table3.
If I want to
CREATE TRIGGER BEFORE DELETE ON table1 FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE table1_trigger(arg);
What I suppose pass to the arg in table1_trigger()?
Thank you very much in advance!
