I have a table, SecurityMasterUnderlying, that has a 2 foreign key
constraints to the same table (SecurityMaster). The first one is a
one-to-one relationship. The second being a many-to-one.
* All securities (equities, options, futures) will have ONE row in
SecurityMaster.
* All derivatives (options) will also have ONE row in
SecurityMasterUnderlying.
* All derivatives will have an underlying security (think of it as a
parent) in SecurityMaster. The underlying security CAN have multiple
childs.
I cannot use ON DELETE CASCADE on both FK definitions since that
creates a circular reference so I need to use a trigger on one of
them.
I am having trouble writing the trigger that will delete the
derivative (from SecurityMaster) if the underlying security is
deleted. (With the sample data -- DIAXL should be deleted if DIA is)
