I've tried adding triggers to system table, it is possible. Though, I never tried how would they work as I don't know which table to use for this.

I assumed there might be some notification broadcast to system tables as Firebird can return statistical info on rows inserted, updated and deleted from a table. But if there isn't then I'll have to find some not so elegant alternative.
