Re: Firing triggers based on certain Insert conditions

["Harpreet Dhaliwal" <harpreet(dot)dhaliwal01(at)gmail(dot)com>]

I never said I don't want my trigger to do anything.

My subject line only made it pretty clear that I want to fire my trigger based on

certain conditions.

I know its kind of a silly feature request but you really can't help it

when you are working with stupid advisors :)

thanks for your reponse anyways.

No, and it seems pretty silly as a feature request.  Why don't you just
put the test in the trigger, and have it do nothing when you don't want
it to do anything?
