Home Forums SQL Server 2008 T-SQL (SS2K8) Always set a Field to NULL - is a trigger the answer RE: Always set a Field to NULL - is a trigger the answer

  • What will it hurt if something IS entered into the column and can it wait? If so, save yourself some pain and just run a job on a scheduled basis to update the column where it isn't null.

    Also, are there other triggers on this table? If so, what are they used for?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
