Hi Walden, I prefere external triggers over SQL triggers even though the second ones are much powerful. The reason is, to change a trigger, you need exclusive access to the base table. If your company works 24/7/365 it's rather impossible to change a trigger. Our external trigger programs are only wapper's around the "true" tigger program. The old and new record are passed as data structures to the called program or procedure. This called program can be changed without requiring exclusive access to the base table. In SQL-Triggers I can get access to the old and new record (or table) within the trigger, but I have not found a solution yet to pass this information to a called stored procedure. There are no datastructures like we know it from RPG. Birgitta -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Im Auftrag von Walden H. Leverich Gesendet: Dienstag, 22. November 2005 02:49 An: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Betreff: RE: Downside to SQL Triggers? Thanks, I'd seen that. Unfortunately it's too much of a simple reference book. I'm looking for some real world experiences. I've got the stored procs created and everything seems ok, but since there's not much discussion about them here I'm just wondering if people have seen problems. It might just be that people aren't using them. -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.
