database tables. You can define a trigger for update,
delete, and insert operations. Whenever the operation takes
place, regardless of the interface that is changing the

can be implemented at the database level, totally
independent from the application layer......

Insert Into PF2 Values ('RECORDS DELETED IN PF1')
>>Delete FROM PF1 Where Recordno = 10
>>SElect * FROM PF2.

In the above code, the records in the PF1 is deleted , at
once the trigger trg_name is fired and the given insert
