Along that line of thinking... don't other database providers suggest that data never be accessed directly; that we use /Model/-/View/-/Controller/ (/MVC/) to work with our data? Does that scenario provide an answer that can be adapted to solve this problem?

If your looking for quick & dirty...I'd have the trigger program fix the
