Something like this, perhaps:
CREATE TRIGGER TEXTLISTS_B4DEL_genericsinfo BEFORE DELETE ON TEXTLISTS
begin
select raise(FAIL, 'DEPENDANCYERROR')
where old.listtype in ('W', 'C') and exists
(select 1 from genericsinfo where TextList_id = old.textlist_id);
select raise(FAIL, 'DEPENDANCYERROR')
where old.listtype = 'L' and exists
(select 1 from PRODUCTS where LOCATION = old.identifier);
select raise(FAIL, 'DEPENDANCYERROR')
where old.listtype = 'PT' and exists
(select 1 from PRODUCTS where PRODTYPE = old.identifier);
select raise(FAIL, 'DEPENDANCYERROR')
where old.listtype = 'PF' and exists
(select 1 from PRODUCTS where PROD_FORM = old.identifier);
end;
You can also combine the four select statements into one statement, by ORing
all WHERE conditions, or by doing something like this:
select raise(FAIL, 'DEPENDANCYERROR')
where case
when old.listtype in ('W', 'C')
then exists (select 1 from genericsinfo where TextList_id =
old.textlist_id)
when old.listtype = 'L'
then exists (select 1 from PRODUCTS where LOCATION = old.identifier)
when old.listtype = 'PT'
then exists (select 1 from PRODUCTS where PRODTYPE = old.identifier)
when old.listtype = 'PF'
then exists (select 1 from PRODUCTS where PROD_FORM = old.identifier)
end;
