<p>The CREATE TRIGGER statement is used to add triggers to the
database schema. Triggers are database operations (the <i>trigger-action</i>)
that are automatically performed when a specified database event (the
<i>database-event</i>) occurs. </p>
<p>A trigger may be specified to fire whenever a DELETE, INSERT or UPDATE of a
particular database table occurs, or whenever an UPDATE of one or more
specified columns of a table are updated.</p>
<p>At this time SQLite supports only FOR EACH ROW triggers, not FOR EACH
STATEMENT triggers. Hence explicitly specifying FOR EACH ROW is optional. FOR
EACH ROW implies that the SQL statements specified as <i>trigger-steps</i>
may be executed (depending on the WHEN clause) for each database row being
inserted, updated or deleted by the statement causing the trigger to fire.</p>
<p>Both the WHEN clause and the <i>trigger-steps</i> may access elements of
the row being inserted, deleted or updated using references of the form
"NEW.<i>column-name</i>" and "OLD.<i>column-name</i>", where
<i>column-name</i> is the name of a column from the table that the trigger
is associated with. OLD and NEW references may only be used in triggers on
<i>trigger-event</i>s for which they are relevant, as follows:</p>
<table border=0 cellpadding=10>
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="right" width=120><i>INSERT</i></td>
<td valign="top">NEW references are valid</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="right" width=120><i>UPDATE</i></td>
<td valign="top">NEW and OLD references are valid</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="right" width=120><i>DELETE</i></td>
<td valign="top">OLD references are valid</td>
</tr>
</table>
</p>
<p>If a WHEN clause is supplied, the SQL statements specified as <i>trigger-steps</i> are only executed for rows for which the WHEN clause is true. If no WHEN clause is supplied, the SQL statements are executed for all rows.</p>
<p>The specified <i>trigger-time</i> determines when the <i>trigger-steps</i>
will be executed relative to the insertion, modification or removal of the
associated row.</p>
<p>An ON CONFLICT clause may be specified as part of an UPDATE or INSERT
<i>trigger-step</i>. However if an ON CONFLICT clause is specified as part of
the statement causing the trigger to fire, then this conflict handling
policy is used instead.</p>
<p>Triggers are automatically dropped when the table that they are
associated with is dropped.</p>
<p>Triggers may be created on views, as well as ordinary tables. If one or
more INSERT, DELETE or UPDATE triggers are defined on a view, then it is not
an error to execute an INSERT, DELETE or UPDATE statement on the view,
respectively. Thereafter, executing an INSERT, DELETE or UPDATE on the view
causes the associated triggers to fire. The real tables underlying the view
are not modified (except possibly explicitly, by a trigger program).</p>
<p><b>Example:</b></p>
<p>Assuming that customer records are stored in the "customers" table, and
that order records are stored in the "orders" table, the following trigger
ensures that all associated orders are redirected when a customer changes
his or her address:</p>
