Re: Need generic routine to invoke trigger program, using C language _Rread perhaps?

Charles,

YTRIGGER does just that for you (if I read what you're asking correctly).
Why reinvent the wheel?

All,

I'm considering putting together a generic routine that can
generically call a specified trigger program instead of having the DB
call the trigger program.

Basically, the program I want will read through a DB table containing
table names and their corresponding triggers. For each table listed,
the program will read each record in the specified table and invoke
the specified trigger program.

This generic routine will replace programs specific to each table that
simply do a 'UPDATE sometable SET somefield = somefield'.

I'm thinking the C language _Rread function will allow me to do want I
want.

Anybody (Scott perhaps ;) have experience using _Rread?

Thanks!
Charles Wilt
