I try to implement table level replication in my application. Last table change time is written to control table by trigger. Client finds the tables which are changed after last login and re-loads the whole tables. Unfortunately, ON DELETE CASCADE tables are replicated always in this case which slows down my application startup. Should I use foo_trig as row level trigger to detect only real row deletion ? > (It's rather silly to imagine that a BEFORE STATEMENT trigger > would have any way to know that anyway.

I tried following code: insert into klient values (1); update klient set kood=2 WHERE kood=3; In this case, foo_trig trigger is NOT executed. So BEFORE UPDATE ROW trigger is NOT executed when there are no rows to update, but BEFORE DELETE ROW trigger IS executed when there are no rows to delete! Why is this behaviour inconsistent ?
