No . . . 'old' is a virtual table that is the same as the table I'm 
doing work on.  See 
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/trigger-syntax.html>.  What I 
need to do is check if jobposts record has jobposts.adsource_id (foreign 
key) which still exists in adsource table (primary key).  If adsource 
record still exists, then do not proceed with deleting jobpost record - 
that's what I'm trying to do and thus is what this trigger is supposed 
to do.
