Is amazing but seems like the only way somebody ask in this group. See
my other posts. Zero replies.

Sorry, i think is clear what want to do and was my mistake.I know
nothing about triggers as i say before.I just want to replace foreign
key checks in delete.
I need to check in the main table if theres a value of my foreign table
before i delte a record in foreign table. That will be the replace for
the referential integrity for the foreign table.Remember i need to
delete that keys because my insert in main table are so sloowly?

So, where can i find triggers syntax and wich is the best way to find if
there a value for a record in a table and act in consecuence?

a pseudocode can be:

before delete foreign key:
if exist(value_of_fktable in main_table) then
abort deleteting_record_in_fktable

TIA
