I'm trying to understand triggers. I have read the documentation in the
manual as well as the few pages in the Douglas book about the subject,
but I don't see how to implement a trigger that simply updates a
'last_edit' date field in my 'persons' table whenever I do an insert or
update into my 'participants' table; that is a trigger that basically
does an "UPDATE persons SET 'last_edit' = NOW() WHERE persons.person_id
= participants.person_fk". Is that even possible?
