Storing Database Triggers

You can store a database’s trigger procedures in an operating system directory or in a Progress r-code library. There are advantages and disadvantages with each storage technique.

When developing the application, it is usually better to store the procedures in a directory. Typically, when deploying or porting an application to another platform, it is advantageous to store your trigger procedures in an r-code library. This is usually faster than running the procedures from an operating system directory, even if the procedures are precompiled. However, you must precompile procedures run from a library. The Trigger (-trig) startup parameter allows you to specify the directory or r-code library containing your trigger procedures.
