Apple Has Finally Stuck A Dagger Into SMS. I Love It.

MG Siegler

Now that the WWDC keynote is over and I’ve had a little bit of time to reflect, I’ve been thinking about what excited me the most from today’s announcements. The list is long, no doubt. But I think I’m going to have to go with something that surprised me — while at the same time making me look smarter than perhaps I really am. (Again, just perhaps.) iMessages.

AS400 Database Trigger Programs ADDPFTRG

iSeries/ AS400/ System i programming allows a very useful feature called Triggers. It allows you to execute programs based on data changes in a database file. Use the command ADDPFTRG to add triggers to any database file. Recently, I used trigger to create a history/ audit trail for a Client Locations file which does not have any history. Trigger was preferred over direct program changes because One small program does the job well. Least impact and least testing involved! It saves me time and effort having to add code in a dozen places. It saves on testing time because of large number of changes. The performance overhead is negligible.
