Specifying update when key is modified
The Key Modification property determines the statements PowerBuilder generates
whenever a key column–a column you specified in the Unique
Key Columns box–is changed. The options are:
- Use DELETE then INSERT (default)
- Use UPDATE
How to choose a setting
Consider the following when choosing the Key Modification
setting:
- If multiple rows
are changed, DELETE and INSERT always
work. In some DBMSs, UPDATE fails if the user
modifies two keys and sets the value in one row to the original
value of the other row. - You might choose the setting here based on your
DBMS triggers. For example, if there is an Insert trigger, select
Use Delete then Insert. - If only one row can be modified by the user before
the database is updated, use UPDATE because it
is faster.
