trigger to copy complete row

[Bernd Peters]

Hello,

i need a trigger that will copy the complete row from table_a to table_b in the event that this row ist going to be erased from table_a.

CREATE TRIGGER erase
BEFORE DELETE ON table_a
FOR EACH ROW
INSERT INTO table_b ??????????

I would like to avoid to specify every value using Insert.

Is there something like this, that i can use with the trigger:

INSERT INTO table_b SELECT * from table_a WHERE ...

Thank you very much in advance,
Bernd
