hi,

you can write a pl/sql at the time of saving you data into the table.You can minus the data item from Party Balance.

you have to do some RND.

Hi

I appriciate you for your response.

But we need to understand the severity of problem. if arises at all?
I can use after trigger on statement level but if i use it
how i will refer to values of new record? (possible only with row level trigger with :new and :old keywords.)
if i use row level then mutating will arise.

Suggest some thing.

In your after-insert trigger see if is an entry in the 'Party Balance' table, if not, insert one with this transaction's 'new' value. If it exists, then use a 'select sum(field) from party' to get the accumulation and update the existing 'Party Balance' entry. This logic should also work in the after-update trigger.

If you use 'for each row', then three updates will just cause the balance to be set three times, if not 'for each row', then the three updates, if in the same commit, should cause the update to take place only once.

Hi djmartin

i appriciate your work on that problem.

But my friend if i start to look on table for every insert or update or delete then it will be resulted in very heavy I/O
read and write on disk and slow software performance.

anyways, I have done it with very logical way.

i have created a temporary table as

create global temporary table party_balance2
(field1,field2)
on commit delete rows;

after creation i sent all the new fields to this table and when
i commit,all the values are updated and sent to final table.

One more option I have--

In forms i used Post_insert trigger. It fired for every record.


Please be in touch.
Jai

I expect that your solution will consume 20 to 50 times the resources that my solution would use. I am also unsure whether it will work in a multi-user environment.

Hi Djmartin

The sources comsumed by applications are limited.Because i have done few things to debug this problem while creating database for application.

First I Have not saved any of Clint side coding into oracle database server.

Second i have specially defined cursor variable on table partition with ranges.

second thing you said is really appriciatable. I was not thinking for multi user. It is stand alone. but i will do something for it.

I hope you will be in touch.
