Would anyone please share the source for a CREATE TRIGGER statement that
checks for a change in one field and then inserts a record into a new
table? I have moved to wanting to use an SQL trigger instead of ADDPFTRG
so that I can do everything in SQL (trying to learn new stuff). I already
have a working example using ADDPFTRG and an RPGLE trigger pgm.

Thanks.

RE: Triggers






On point 3, I haven't tested it, but I see no reason why SQL trigger
wouldn't work against the PF.

Subject: Triggers

I have a PF where when a certain field is changed I wish to write a copy
of the record to another file. Obviously, I could do this in the RPG pgm
but prefer to not change the pgm.

I have been reading about triggers and would like some confirmation on a
couple things.

First, there are two kinds of DB triggers, PF and SQL table triggers.

Second, the PF trigger cannot detect an update to a specific field, while
the SQL trigger can execute when a change in a specific column is
detected.

Third, since my file is a PF and not an SQL table, I cannot use the SQL
trigger and must use the ADDPFTRG.

Fourth, if I were to change my PF to an SQL table, an SQL trigger would be

a good choice to address my issue.

Any other suggestions as to how to handle my situation are also welcome.

Thanks.
