Thread: Risk of using triggers ?

Risk of using triggers ? Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I’m new to SLX development (LAN Client v7.2.2) and am currently supporting a heavily customized installation that includes synchronized remote databases. I would like to understand any risks that may occur when using triggers to calculate and update custom table fields within the SLX sysdba schema. In particular I’m concerned this could somehow lead to a situation where the remote dbs need to be re-cut. But, like I mentioned, the risks (if any) are not clear to me.

The new fields are not needed by remote users and are not displayed via the client. Their primary intent is for reporting purposes (by concurrent users - using Visual Analyzer I think). I’m creating the fields via the SLX DB admin tool so I know the field will sync to the remotes, but since the data is set from the trigger I don’t expect the values to sync out.

Thanks!

Depends on the 'impact' of the trigger and to what table.... triggers bypass sync, CONFLICT RESOLUTION, DateOnly fields that might be affected by GMT....processing is processing.....triggers have the potential to tie up SQL server resources that might need to be needed elsewhere....
