Available in: PSQL, triggers only
Changed in: 1.5, 2.0
Description: NEW
contains the new version of a database record that has just been inserted or updated. Starting with Firebird 2.0 it is read-only
in AFTER triggers.
Type: Data row
In multi-action triggers – introduced in Firebird 1.5 – NEW
is always available. But if the trigger is fired by a DELETE, there will be no new version of the record. In that situation, reading from NEW
will always return NULL
; writing to it will cause a runtime exception.
