NewBee Trigger Question

SQL Apprentice Question
I want to create a basic insert trigger. In T1 I add a row, which creates a
new ID. The trigger fires after the insert, how do I get the new ID to add
to the child table?

I know this is as simple as it gets but I've read about 10 posts and dont'
see it?


Thanks in advance.

Stop using SQL and go back to a network database. You have described
how they work as they build pointer chains as the data is inserted. I
am not kidding -- read a DB history book. You even used the term
"child" instead of "referenced" table!! Pure network/pointer chain
database concepts and terms, not anything like RDBMS.

Perhaps you should have read one book on RDBMS instead?

You do not create a relational key. It already exists in the real
world and you discover it.


Triggers are a kludge for putting procedural code into a declarative
language.


You need to start over; you do not know what you are doing. People
here will give you kludges to get rid of you quickly because we cannot
give you a 1-2 year course in RDBMS. Telling someone to "smash rats
with a rock when they get near your baby" is easier than "improve the
sewer system by learning civil engineering so rats are not a problem"
