Modifying Triggers

  • Article

You can modify triggers through the Table Designer or through the language.

To modify a trigger

  • In the Table tab of the Table Designer, enter the new trigger expression in the Insert trigger, Update trigger, or Delete trigger box.

    -or-

  • Issue the SET SAFETY OFF command, and then use the CREATE TRIGGER command.

When you modify a trigger by first issuing the SET SAFETY OFF command and then re-creating the trigger, the old trigger expression is automatically deleted and replaced by the re-created trigger expression.

Using Triggers to Build Referential Integrity

Visual FoxPro provides a Referential Integrity Builder to generate triggers and stored procedures that will enforce Referential Integrity (RI) for your database. For more information on using the RI Builder, see Developing Databases.
