Hi, I have a few sql questions.

1) I want to update the field of one table after a user enters something in a another tabele. e.g.

In the Products table there is field called stock count. I want this field to be decremented after a field called quantity sold is updated in the sales order table.

2) How can you restrict/check that a user has enterd a valid id number. e.g.

I have a customer table, which has a key field called customer number. When sales order information is enterd in the sales order table, there is a customer number field whcih needs to be also entered. How can I check that a user has entered a customer that exists in the customer table?

Thank you very much.

You can do this using triggers.

To learn how triggers work have a look at:
