Abstract:
1. A method, implemented by a computer, of modifying an existing trigger included within a database, wherein existing trigger includes a functional capability including one of a recursive capability and a trigger nesting capability when executed by a first operating system, the method comprising: receiving user input that includes an attribute desired by a user for the existing trigger, wherein the attribute desired by the user prevents the existing trigger from initiating an action executed by a second operating system; generating in response to the user input a first modifying object associated with the existing trigger and that includes the attribute desired by the user that prevents the existing trigger from initiating the action executed by the second operating system, wherein the first modifying object tracks information relating to the existing trigger; indicating an association between the first modifying object and the existing trigger in a table; accessing a file that includes the existing trigger during runtime; in response to accessing the file that includes the existing trigger, and before the existing trigger is executed, determining if any modifying object is associated with the existing trigger by accessing the table; in response to determining if any modifying object is associated with the existing trigger by accessing the table, determining from the table that the first modifying object is associated with the existing trigger; and in response to determining from the table that the first modifying object is associated with the existing trigger, applying the attribute desired by the user from the first modifying object to the existing trigger to modify the existing trigger during the runtime.
