Re: [Bulk] Is there a way to add a Where clause to an SQL After Insert Trigger?

Hi, Jeff:

The trigger will be executed for each row.

Just code the equivalent of the "condition" of the desired where clause as an IF statement at the very start of your trigger code, and have it do an immediate return (exit without doing anything) if the row data does not meet the criteria of your desired "where" clause. ("early exit" fast-path)

I hope this explanation makes sense.

HTH,

Mark S. Waterbury

Using examples provided earlier this month by Chuck, I have successfully
created After Insert and After Update SQL triggers.
I would like to be able to have a filter on the After Insert trigger so
that only records meeting my selection criteria will be processed.
Is this possible?
I have not been able to find anything in the SQL Reference Manual regarding
this.


TIA,
