Controls whether triggers are fired in the database.

Allowed values

On, Off

Default

On

Remarks

When set to On, triggers are fired. When set to Off, no triggers are fired, including referential integrity triggers (such as cascading updates and deletes). Only a user with DBA authority can set this option. The option is overridden by the -gf option, which turns off all trigger firing regardless of the fire_triggers setting.

This option is relevant when replicating data from Adaptive Server Enterprise to SQL Anywhere because all actions from Adaptive Server Enterprise transaction logs are replicated to SQL Anywhere, including actions performed by triggers.
