I've been looking at the new trigger features planned for Firebird 2.1 and I'm a bit jealous.

I'm interested in 'stateful' proc packages that can benefit from accumulating data from updates during a transaction and then performing an action at the end - perhaps doing a bulk insert in a pre-commit trigger, or communicating with an external system in a post-commit trigger,
and using a begin tran or rollback trigger to tidy up the accumulator.

Would this be a difficult thing to add?

I quite like their temporary table treatment too.
