<div><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />When a user or application issues
a change or read operation on a database file that has an associated trigger,
the operation calls the appropriate trigger program or programs.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></p>
<p>The change or read operation passes two parameters to the trigger program,
as described in the following table.</p>

<p>From these inputs, the trigger program can refer to a copy of the original
or the new records. You must code the trigger program so that it accepts these
parameters.</p>
