Description:
I try to delete a record in a table for example called A that has a trigger for an insert event.
The trigger writes something to a second table for example called B.
When I drop the second table B and I try to delete a record from the first table A I got an error "the table B does not exist".
Note that the trigger was for Inserting!!
The same operation on oracle10g works fine!!

How to repeat:
I create an example database and i select it:
Create database example;
use example

I create the tables and the trigger:
Create table A (id int(10)); 
Create table B (id int(10));
delimiter //
Create trigger trA after insert on A
for each row
begin
Insert into B (id) values (1);
end
//
delimiter ;

Now I insert two records:
Insert into A (id) values (10);
Insert into A (id) values (20);

I drop the table B:
drop table B;

I try to delete a record in table A
delete from A where id=20;

I got:
ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'example.b' doesn't exist

Note that I can create the trigger also before that the table B were created
mysql do not perform any check

Oracle let perform the same operation
Thanks
Ciao
