ESQL Access to Database Objects

If you access a Progress database via ESQL, database schema triggers will execute appropriately: the DELETE statement executes the DELETE trigger; the CREATE statement executes the CREATE trigger, etc. Note that ESQL applications executing 4GL database schema triggers cannot compile .p code on the fly—all database triggers must be precompiled.

If a database trigger is executed by an ESQL application, any user interface operations within that trigger (such as UPDATE, PROMPT–FOR, etc.) will cause the ESQL request to fail.
