  • Trigger generation in an active database management system
    Patent number: 5680602
    Abstract: Triggers for automatically starting an extract process in response to the committing of update data to a repository by an update process. In one embodiment, triggers are associated with particular extract processes and are started upon the committing of update data to the repository by an update process. Upon being started, each trigger determines whether any of the update data is within the extract view of the extract process that it is associated with and, if so, evaluates a predetermined condition specified for the trigger. If the condition is satisfied, the trigger translates the update data within the extract view into the extract view and starts the extract process. In another embodiment, triggers are bound to repository entities within the view of an extract process and are started upon the updating of the corresponding entities.
