i use the entity framework code first for my application and i need a trigger.
My Application should support different database engines like
- Sql Server
- SqlServerCE
- SqlExpress
Trigger, Stored procs are not supported in SqlServerCE, what would you do to get this
functionality?
I could do something after “SaveChanges” or something, what is a good way ?
Yes you can do something inside SaveChanges (by overriding) or after SaveChanges and call SaveChanges again to persist new data but it is not exactly the same as trigger. Simply if your requirement is to use trigger for some functionality SqlServerCE is not a choice for you. If you rewrite the trigger logic to your application you should have two versions anyway – one for big SQL using triggers and one for SQL CE not using triggers.
