So let's get this straight.
The constraint on fk_B_A will not let you enter data into that field
unless it already exists in pk_A in A.
Your trigger that you have created will ensure that no data will get
into pk_a that does not already exist in fk_B_A, so it seems to be
working fine.
What exactly do you want to do? Do you want to ensure that after you
insert a record into A, a matching record gets inserted into B?
If so then your trigger should insert a record if one didn't exist.
Cheers,
Jason Lepack
