Subject Strange errors while creating a trigger
Author Daniel
Hi

I want to insert the following trigger into a Firebird 1.5.2 database but
there are errors.
Unfortunately the error messages are not clear enough to me (invalid request
BLR at offset 89).
Secondly why would this "maxLogID = (select gen_id("LogTable_GEN", 0) from
RDB$DATABASE);" not work?


SET TERM ^ ;
create trigger TRU_country FOR country ACTIVE AFTER UPDATE AS
declare variable maxLogID NUMERIC(18,0);
begin
insert into LogTable ( table_name ) values ( 'country');
maxLogID = (select gen_id("LogTable_GEN", 0) from RDB$DATABASE);
insert into Shadow_country ( common_id, operationType, status, CID, CNAME,
old_CID, server_name ) values (:maxLogID, 'U', 'B', old.CID, old.CNAME,
old.CID, 'server2_3001');
insert into Shadow_country ( common_id, operationType, status, CID, CNAME,
old_CID, server_name ) values (:maxLogID, 'U', 'A', new.CID, new.CNAME,
old.CID, 'server2_3001');
end ^
SET TERM ;^


It would be great if anybody could help me.

Should you want to re-create the issue, here are the tables and generator
required:

CREATE TABLE COUNTRY (CID INTEGER NOT NULL, CNAME VARCHAR(20), PRIMARY KEY
(CID));
create table Shadow_COUNTRY (SYNC_ID NUMERIC(18,0) not null, COMMON_ID
NUMERIC(18,0), operationType char(1), STATUS char(1) , CID INTEGER , CNAME
VARCHAR(20) , old_CID INTEGER, SERVER_NAME varchar(250), primary
key(SYNC_ID));
create table LogTable (cid NUMERIC(18,0), Table_Name varchar(32));
CREATE GENERATOR "LogTable_GEN";
