Re: Downside to SQL Triggers?

Maybe so, I haven't created but one trigger via the CREATE TRIGGER under DB2UDB, but I like it and didn't/don't have any problems. It works just like creating the triggers on 
our ORACLE boxes( pure SQL ).
The only restriction I ran up against was that on the system you create it on has to have the C compiler or SQL development product, so on our systems that don't I just had to save / restore to. 

hth,
Billy


Can I assume that the lack of responses means that most haven't used
them, and those that have haven't experienced any problems?

Subject: Downside to SQL Triggers?

Anyone know of a downside to creating triggers with SQL? I don't mean
HLL triggers that have embedded SQL, I'm talking about creating triggers
with the CREATE TRIGGER sql statement. 
For some things it might make sense to use HLLs for the trigger, but for
many triggers -- especially those that update one file based on a change
in another, the SQL triggers seem to be obvious candidates.
