Creating an ASE Trigger

Create an ASE trigger to enforce a referential integrity constraint in an ASE database.

Prerequisites 

Before you can create a trigger, be sure the data server that contains the trigger is running, and you created and established a connection to the data server.

  1. In the Databases folder in Enterprise Explorer, under the database connection profile, expand the tree for a database, expand the Schemas folder and then the tree for the appropriate schema owner.
  2. Expand the Tables folder.
  3. Right-click the table to which to add the trigger, and select New > Trigger .
  4. Enter the Name.

    For example, titleInsert.

  5. Select For Update, For Insert, or For Delete to indicate the condition under which the trigger invokes when the associated table is modified.
  6. (Optional) Enter a description in the Comments field.
  7. Click Next and specify save and execution properties.
    Field Description
    Generate Script Generate a SQL file for the object.
    Enter or Select the Parent Folder Specify an existing project or create a new project in which to save the SQL file.
    File Name Enter the file name in which to store the SQL code.
    Execute Immediately Execute the SQL code immediately. If you do not select this option, you must complete execution of the SQL file later to create the object.
    Open in Editor After Creation Create the object and open it in its associated editor.
  8. Click Finish to create the trigger.
