Thanks. I assume that idea will not work in ASE 15.0, because functions in that version can't take text/images as parameters. - John.
View ArticleAtomic drop/create trigger in ASE 16
Hi. In many previous ASE versions (up through 15.0), my standard practice when replacing a trigger in a live system was to simply use CREATE TRIGGER, without using DROP TRIGGER first. ASE allowed that,...

On ASE 16 I verified that "create or replace" works as expected for the sa login who created AND modified the trigger. This does seem to be atomic operation. Worst case scenario you may have to...

Hi John,I can confirm datalength on a null text column returns null on 16.0 SP02PL02 and 15.7 SP100, 15.7 SP136 HF1. This is both with a row that was always null and one that has been updated to null....

I'm on 15.0.3.I suspect this behavior changed in 15.7, but I don't have one of those. Anyway, it would seem there is no magic bullet. I just need to manually modify all my datalength() tests in my code...

You said "In ASE 16 sa/sso should be able transfer/take the ownership of an object as needed." Does that imply that the dbo (lacking sso role) cannot do that? You said "Worst case scenario you may have...

ASE 16 Tested a sequence that works. 1. Need to use "create or replace" option to update trigger in place. 2. Login who wants to re-create the trigger need to take the ownership by alter modify owner...

This does not seem odd from a security perspective. Remembering that ASE 16 can now support multiple triggers on a table, there may exist the situation where an SSO (not DBO) may want to create a...

Hi John,To be exact, the change was done in 15.7 Beta timeframe and the final implementation was available in 15.7 GA release. This coincides with the in-row LOB changes for 15.7 and during this work,...
View ArticleRe: Change in behavior of datalength() between ASE15 and ASE16
@Jeroen - a lot of this is a bit of a misunderstanding. ASE, like all DBMS's implements default datatypes for literals - and impose a hierachy based on standards for mixed type expressions. For...

Thanks for that, Avinash, I am making progress. Your idea seems to work great in the case when the table and its trigger are owned by the same login, or when the table and its trigger are owned by two...
