It really is a different model in that it returns data with the event
rather than just signaling that the event occurred. The resource
consumption is higher for NimbusDB events that Firebird events, but
memory and cycles are lot cheaper than they used to be.

NimbusDB events are generated by the update code rather than triggers.
As I said before, the event mechanism is general, but at the moment, the
only type of events are record update events.
