Hi Thom,
   I guess its got to do with the Foreign key definitions not being
persistent.

   Hence I decided to extend the idbTrigger class and add code to the
onAdd() & onUpdate() APIs to do the Ref. Integrity for me.

   But I encountered some problems here too. The foll. is the stdout
dump generated by my trigger class.

~~~~~~~~~~stdout dump starts here~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
main DROP TABLE employee
main CREATE TABLE employee (emplID int AUTO INCREMENT, name CHAR(40),
salary CURRENCY, hired DATE, age FLOAT, comment BINARY)
main DROP TABLE employee_client
main CREATE TABLE employee_client (emplID int AUTO INCREMENT, name
CHAR(40), salary CURRENCY, hired DATE, age FLOAT, comment BINARY)
foreign key (emplID) references employee (emplID)
main INSERT INTO employee (emplId, name, salary, hired, age, comment)
VALUES(22,'Bugs', '23', '3 Jan 1998', 27.5, 'in every cartoon')
main INSERT INTO employee_client (emplId, name, salary, hired, age,
comment) VALUES(23,'Bugs', '23', '3 Jan 1998', 11.1, 'balaji')

[1000, Bugs, 23, 883765800000, 11.1, [B@7b9f9129]

select * from employee where emplID=1000
main select * from employee where emplID=1000
found an FK match...
Database netcollector is shutting down...
Database netcollector shutdown complete.
~~~~~~~~~~stdout dump ends here~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Inside the onAdd() API, I just added a sql query to the parent table
(employee) to check for the inserted emplID value and throw an exception
(and hence rollback the insert) if no records are returned.

   Iam printing the 'rows' vector that is being passed as the first
parameter to the onAdd() API. Notice the foll lines in the dump.

	main INSERT INTO employee_client (emplId, name, salary, hired, age,
comment) VALUES(23,'Bugs', '23', '3 Jan 1998', 11.1, 'balaji')

	[1000, Bugs, 23, 883765800000, 11.1, [B@7b9f9129]

   Iam inserting '23' for emplID, but am getting a '1000' in the vector.

   So I end up not checking for my required 'emplID' value.

   Any help on this ?

thanx,
balaji
