I currently use triggers in my database to keep track of changes on various columns. When these values are changed by a user, a trigger will insert the previous value into another table. I have been using these triggers for about a year and I have not had any problems. I'm using HP-UX 10.10 and Informix 7.13. >---------- >From: John Bedford[SMTP:johnb@dmu.ac.uk] >Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 1998 12:58 PM >To: informix-list@iiug.org >Subject: Database Triggers > >Hi, > >I'm currently doing a project on Active Database Systems and I am >interested to know if anyone >actually implements triggers within their database systems and what >they find them most useful for?.
