Is it possible to delete a file from the filesystem in a SQL trigger

  • 0

Is it possible to delete a file from the filesystem in a SQL trigger in SQLite?

I have a table which contains the path to a file. Is it possible to create a trigger that starts when a deletion occurs and that deletes the file whose path is the one contained in the deleted row? How can I do this?

Thanks!
