I am writing what DB2 did more in V10. Developer has to focus more on performance, and logic for any type of business scenario.
- IBM did some changes in Create Trigger functionality:
More flexible and function-rich CREATE TRIGGER support. The trigger-event clause can now contain more than one INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE operation, which means that a trigger can be activated by any combination of specified events. Although you can specify one, two, or all three trigger events in a single CREATE TRIGGER statement, a trigger event cannot be specified more than once. You can also use the new trigger event predicates (INSERTING, UPDATING, and DELETING) in a triggered action to test the event that activated a trigger. A trigger event predicate is only valid in the triggered action of a compiled trigger definition. And finally, the FOR EACH STATEMENT option is now supported in the CREATE TRIGGER statement for PL/SQL triggers. You can create triggers that fire only once per statement.(Source : IBM)
2. Added new scalar functions:INSTRB - Returns starting position in bytes. TO_SINGLE_BYTE – Returns string in which multi-byte chars are converted into single byte char.
