Implement an option to ignore trigger on update

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Add an option that allows to ignore triggers on update/delete


Use Case:

I'm having a stored procedure that updates a technical field on tables. these updates are slow, because there are triggers on some tables. I know that these updates don't have any impact on business data handled by the triggers, so I'd like my updates to run faster without triggering anything, but just for my stored proc.

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed.

    Most triggers are used to enforce business logic, so allowing users to circumvent the trigger would leave the underlying data exposed to potential security or data violations.

    If there is a performance critical data operation that can be accomplished during a period when its safe to run without the trigger to gain a performance advantage, you can consider using ALTER TRIGGER DISABLE / ENABLE to temporarily remove trigger enforcement from the table.

    Triggers are used for many purposes, but one key aspect is to implement business logic and/or data validation.
    Depending on what a customer is using the trigger for, allowing any user to just ignore a trigger would possibly cause data violations and could be a security exposure.
