    Example 1: Disabling a Trigger

    The following example shows that while the EMPLOYEE_ID_CASCADE_
    DELETE trigger is enabled, deleting a record from EMPLOYEES
    causes the corresponding record in JOB_HISTORY to be deleted.
    After the trigger is disabled, a deletion from EMPLOYEES does not
    trigger a deletion from the JOB_HISTORY table.
