Re: triggers within commit cycles

There is a simpler (better?) way of doing this:
Have an access module for every file or table
you use. Place the business rules in the module
(could even be turned on/off by a switch in the
calling sequence - sometimes you don't want
any rules, e.g. during emergency repair of
data in the file).
