><P
> This section describes the low-level details of the interface to a
trigger function. This information is only needed when writing
trigger functions in C. If you are using a higher-level language then
these details are handled for you. In most cases you should consider
using a procedural language before writing your triggers in C. The
documentation of each procedural language explains how to write a
trigger in that language.

interface.

any normal arguments, but it is passed a <SPAN

> structure. C
functions can check whether they were called from the trigger
manager or not by executing the macro:

CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"

</P><PRE

<TT
