Ok, Well, maybe I'm a dingbat here, but help me out:

I create a view: CREATE VIEW V1 as SELECT TABLE1.*, NULL SOURCE FROM TABLE1; That creates a view identical to TABLE1 with an extra column named SOURCE. Now, in my INSTEAD OF trigger I can insert into any table I code for, right? So, within the body of the trigger I can say: INSERT INTO TABLEB VALUES (.........). That should work, right? I'm just confused on where the originating DML operation goes. Is the purpose of the trigger to not insert into the base tables, but just execute the code? Received on Tue Aug 05 2008 - 15:17:02 CDT
