DELETE trigger, direct or indirect?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi. This is a bit unusual. We have a foreign key between two tables, with ON DELETE CASCADE, to preserve referential integrity. But we apparently also need to preserve the severed reference (by natural key, i.e. its name), to later on reconnect the two entities after-the-fact, should the parent row re-appear later on (in the same transaction or not it still unclear).

To achieve this weird requirement, I'd like to know if it is possible in an ON DELETE trigger to know whether the deletion is coming from a direct-DELETE in the "child table", or whether the deletion is coming from the "parent table" CASCADEd to the child table.

Thanks, --DD
