Re: triggers within commit cycles

["Leif Svalgaard" <leif@xxxxxxxx>]

true, but then as Bruce points out, you may not want to
do these things in the production environment :-)
It is, of course, still possible to combine the I/O
module with the trigger approach for the simplest
forms of business rules. All, I'm saying is that
encapsulating the I/O allows you considerable
freedom of separation of business logic and
I/O stuff.
Please, I should have kept my big mouth shut,
I don't really want to have this discussion. One
can drag a horse to water, but it is hard forcing
him to drink...
