Find a more recent version at Firebird 5.0 Language Reference: NEW
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.
