9.11NEW

Available inPSQL, triggers only

TypeData row

DescriptionNEW 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.

Note

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.
