title: Writing Triggers or implementing actions by programming?
body: <p>I am a newbie. I am writing an application in Java which connects to Oracle 9i database. I need to enforce some rules in my application like:</p>
  
  <p>Chair of Committee A must be added/deleted as a Member in Committee B.</p>
  
  <p>There are around 10 such rules that need to be enforced. I am in a dilemma whether to enforce these rules by writing triggers or by programming within my application.</p>
  
  <p>I appreciate any suggestions.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
