Understanding database triggers

Data in the database is constantly changed - records are inserted, updated, deleted. Almost any user action results in data modification, and all modifications of data run application triggers.

How to do it...

In this recipe we will learn how to use some of the most important and frequently used table triggers to control data flow.

2. Position cursor in the DeleteCertificateActions variable and declare a local record variable ItemCertificateAction:

   Name	DataType	Subtype
   ItemCertificateAction	Record	Item Certificate Action

3. This is a simple function with lines of code in it:

           ItemCertificateAction.SETRANGE("Certificate No.","No."); 
           ItemCertificateAction.DELETEALL; 
   

4. Move to the function UpdateItemOnActions...
