Triggers are user-written programs that are associated with
database tables. You can define a trigger for update,
delete, and insert operations. Whenever the operation takes
place, regardless of the interface that is changing the
data, the trigger program is automatically activated by DB2
database and executes its logic. In this way, complex rules
can be implemented at the database level, totally
independent from the application layer......
