Re: Use of Triggers in RPG

The journal is the tool for improving reliabilty and to find sporadic problems. A journal is not easy to read, so if you need a history of changes that can be seen by normal auditors the trigger is a better option. You can also write a program to read the journal and create a file, but the trigger is easier.
Since the trigger has not to much to do, simply write a record each time there is a change, you can do it very simple, write will not find record locked nor similar errors. When connecting the trigger yuo can choose that it will be called only if there is a change.

I strongly agree with Todd and Rob that journalling is the way to achieve what you require. It's much less hassle than triggers and is easy to learn and administer. You still get to write a program to provide the statistics you want from the journal entries, and it's so much easier. :-)
