Re: Trigger Program Poll

It really depends on what the trigger needs to do.

However, in most cases, I would code one program, (but separate procedures in the program) for the different events.

All,

Just curious as to others experience,

Of RPG trigger programs I've written and/or looked at most (all?) were
designed to support multiple trigger events and/or times.

In other words, if I've got a file which needs to have a trigger fired
*AFTER *UPDATE, *AFTER *INSERT, and *AFTER *DELETE. I've always just
used/seen single trigger program that handled all three events.
(disregard use of a "Generic Trigger" or "Trigger Mediator")

Has that been your experience or do you see 3 separate programs each
for a specific event?


Interestingly, with SQL triggers you have no option, an SQL trigger
can handle only one event.
