|---|---|
| DBC_AFTERDELETE | Occurs after a delete operation |
| DBC_AFTERINSERT | Occurs after an insert operation |
| DBC_AFTERUPDATE | Occurs after an update operation |
| DBC_BEFOREDELETE | Occurs before a delete operation |

| DBC_BEFOREUPDATE | Occurs before an update operation |
| DBC_CLOSEDATA | Occurs when an update closes |
