Subject: Trigger on Insert to Update only newly inserted fields?
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 10:02:32 -0400
Message-ID: <2bffcc330608280702y16c25090i816589e20163e7e8@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I have a On Insert Trigger that updates one of the columns in that same
table.

Is there a way for the trigger to run only for the newly inserted records?
Instead of all records in the database?

E.g.:
ID      Start_Date     End_Date
001   08-01-2006
002   08-02-2006


On Insert/Update, Update End_Date=now().
I want that to run only on new records.or the updated
record. How can I do this?

Thank you so much.
