Restriction on dropping used triggers

Changed in: 2.0, 2.0.1

Description: In Firebird 2.0 only, a restriction is in place which prevents anyone from dropping, altering or recreating a trigger or stored procedure if it has been used since the database was opened. This restriction has been removed again in version 2.0.1. Still, performing these operations on a live database is potentially risky and should only be done with the utmost care.

Changed in: 1.0

Description: In contrast to InterBase, Firebird does not increment the metadata change counter of the associated table when CREATE, ALTER or DROP TRIGGER is used. For a full discussion, see ALTER TRIGGER no longer increments table change count.
