Great feedback Susan. Perhaps you should make some suggests to IBM U2 team for a few "tweaks" to UV triggers?
I guess this highlights too different schools of thought. The "quick and dirty" world of PICK/U2 and the "by-the-book" of relational databases. Each has pros and cons. Where the two meet, we have a somewhat unhappy union - at times...such as it. You can have half-baked index-based triggers (I-types indexed and when "updated" call BASIC subroutines - all well documented by others in the past) or "true" triggers like UV offers. Originally, UV triggers were only available with SQL-ized UV tables only. Lots of power, but so much over-head too and some annoying constraints (in some respects). UniVerse BASIC has the ICHECK() function, but this is for pre-write data+key validation against SQL integrity constraints only. Perhaps IBM can make a enhancement to allow validation against the trigger as well (perhaps it does now days, I can't check at the moment).
