    Hi Chad,

    Just to follow up on Chris' response:  Many programmers think
triggers
are a great idea until they do tons of work on each DB change and things
begin to bog down.  You want to do the least amount of work necessary
when
you use a trigger, regerdless of language.

    For example, one of our clients sends a fax when certain criteria is
met
for a database operation.  Rather than having the ( RPG ) trigger do the
time comsuming work, it just sends notification and the required info to
a
message queue, then returns.

    A Java program monitors the message queue and performs all necessary
operations asynchronously, so the original application throughput is
affected as little as possible.
