Thank you. This might be workable, although it involves maintaining two
sets of update scripts. I'm just afraid i'm gonna miss one or two later on.

Hm...

Maybe i can query the system tables to get the names of existing
triggers and write a small program to generate this two sets of scripts
automatically....

Yes. It's a bunch of batch-file driven build scripts ran via isql.

Thank you,
