7.11.2 CheckAuth
Name
CheckAuth Creates trigger on a table to prevent/allow updates and deletes of rows based on authorization token.

Synopsis
integer CheckAuth(text a_schema_name, text a_table_name, text a_key_column_name);
integer CheckAuth(text a_table_name, text a_key_column_name);

Description
Creates trigger on a table to prevent/allow updates and deletes of rows based on authorization token. Identify rows using
<rowid_col> column.
If a_schema_name is not passed in, then searches for table in current schema.
