Part IV
The Active Database

To take advantage of the reliability and performance of the database server, and to reuse program logic across all the applications in a database, you can move some of your program logic into the database itself, so that the database does cleanup operations and responds to events without the need for a separate application.

This part contains the following chapters:

• Chapter 15, "Using Triggers"
• Chapter 16, "Working With System Events"
• Chapter 17, "Using the Publish-Subscribe Model for Applications"
