[comp.databases] Oracle triggers

susan@slovax.WA.COM (susan) (06/12/90)

Is it possible to have database triggers in Oracle outside
of SQL*Forms?  I would like the capability to compile a trigger
into the database similar to a Sybase object. So far,
Oracle doesnt seem to support a similar feature.

We are running Oracle 5.1 (?) with 6.0 (?) expected on a Microvax II

Any confirmation and/or suggestions appreciated.  Thanks.

The summary says it.  These types of features appear in V7 of the kernel,
coming to a theater near you ( that is, not available to the public yet).
