In tca.php there aren't any records created nor deleted and not edited.

tca.php is just a "description" file describing your tables in php so TYPO3
understands what the fields in each table represent.

If you mean by "for a record being edited or created" the Record-Editing Screen
of Typo3 (alt_doc.php) then you should know that all record-processing is done
in t3lib/class.t3lib_tcemain.php. TCE is a class used for inserting,editing and
deleting records ...It is well documented in the TYPO3 Core API docs:

http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/doc_core_api/Introduction-063c07c172/

You can "hook" into this class and let your own classes perform taska whenever soemthing
gets done with a record ...


hope this helps,
Bernhard
