I have a batch apex class that runs on my custom object successfully - but my trigger doesn't seem to fire. If i edit/save the record manually, trigger fires just fine. What am i missing here? Why doesn't the trigger fire when batch apex runs?

Hi,

Is there any way to get description of all fields of an object in apex code?
Able to query inline text help, label, api name, length etc, but not the description.
Any workaround/trick ?

Thanks
Sid
