|
<div><p>Triggers and constraints can be used to manipulate and manage data
|
|||
|
|
in your database tables. These links describe different methods for adding
|
|||
|
|
and using triggers and constraints.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>A trigger is a type of stored procedure program that is automatically called
|
|||
|
|
whenever a specified action is performed on a specific table. Triggers are
|
|||
|
|
useful for keeping audit trails, for detecting exceptional conditions, for
|
|||
|
|
maintaining relationships in the database, and for running applications and
|
|||
|
|
operations that coincide with the change operation.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Constraints are restrictions or limitations that you place on your database.
|
|||
|
|
Constraints are implemented at the table level. You can use constraints to
|
|||
|
|
create referential integrity in your database.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>You can work with triggers and constraints using <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> Navigator,
|
|||
|
|
SQL, or the traditional file interface. The following table shows the available
|
|||
|
|
options for each task. Click the appropriate “X” for more information about
|
|||
|
|
performing the task.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> Navigator tasks
|
|||
|
|
are also documented in the Online help. For more information about accessing <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> Navigator objects and using
|
|||
|
|
Online help, see <a href="../rzatc/rzatccreateobj.htm"><span class="keyword">iSeries</span> Navigator database tasks</a>.</p>
