   I'm not sure if the FBI solution introduces other problems, but   
   that's a different question.   
      
   However I'm sure instead of trigger where available in 8.0, whereas   
   FBI was introduced in 8i. So I'm not sure about the conclusion that   
   Tom wouldn't use this nowadays. What do we say in cases like this?   
   It depends....
