Trigger to create flat file for new row in table

[kk]

Hello,

Help! Does anyone have an example of a trigger that will export a
newly inserted row into a flat file? Basically anytime a row is
inserted into a specific table a flatfile (fixed width) should be
created in a hardcoded directory. I have the export command created
but it doesn't seem to work in a trigger. I am sort of a newb to DB2
(at least its more advanced functions). I have a project going 'live'
and I have no idea on how to do this. I had wanted to put it on the
task scheduler but that got shot down. If anyone has any suggestions
or better yet a sample of code I could modify I would be very
grateful.

Thank You,
Keith

Have a look here:

You can call the functions described in the article from a trigger. You can
also simply implement the functions in Java if you want to and if
performance is not that important.

Remember to mark the UDF as EXTERNAL ACTION, otherwise DB2 will optimize
it away.
