Hi Folks, I'm not perfekt in SQL so I'm not really sure, how this can be done. I have a master table stud containing (amongs others) two rows called 'sid' and 'status'. Now I have different tables using constraints to reference this table. For example I have one table called phon with the rows 'phonid', 'sid' and 'status'. 'sid' is currently the Foreign Key and the Entry in Phone is updated oder deleted, when the sid in the master table is. So far so good. The 'status'-row can contain either 1 or -1 and -4. And now I would like to implement the action that if the the status field in the master table for a special sid is changed, all status-fields in phon for entries which referencing this sid are also changed. Can this be done somehow with a foreign key? If it can, how? Else I think it could be done about a trigger that is set in the mastertable for setup. The problem is, the Trigger must be updated everytime a new table is added, that references the master table. Or is it possible to write a Trigger for the phon-table that checks the status field from stud everytime it is updated, so I can implement additional functionality (somewhat like ' if (phon.status=1 or phon.status=-1) and (stud.status is updated) then phon.status=stud.status ' )? Thanks and *greets* Kai...
