Scope

SQL Syntax
DISABLE RULES
Description
• DISABLE RULES turns rule invocation off in the DBEnvironment for the current
session or until the ENABLE RULES statement is issued.
• The statement only affects the current SID (session id). Other users are not affected.
• The DISABLE RULES statement is not cumulative; issuing additional DISABLE RULES
statements will have no effect, and a warning will be issued to this effect.
• Rules are not fired retroactively when the ENABLE RULES statement is issued after the
DISABLE RULES statement has been issued. If a DISABLE RULES statement is issued,
rules that would otherwise be applicable will not fire. Then, when a subsequent ENABLE
RULES is issued, applicable rules fire again, but only for subsequent data manipulation
statements, not for those statements executed while rule firing was disabled.
• COMMIT WORK and ROLLBACK WORK statements have no effect on whether rules are
enabled or disabled.
Authorization
You must have DBA authority.
