RE: Oracle Text (ConText/InterMedia) and realtime updates

Hey Tony,

>From my understanding of an Autonomous Transaction (which admittedly isn't
much), the sync would always be one update behind, correct? Because the auto-trans would execute the sync in the trigger body, the current update/insert of the indexed column that caused the trigger to fire would not be committed at the time of sync. Or am I missing something here?

I glanced at the Catalog Index feature and methinks it deserves smore investigation. Thanks!

I would suggest researching an Autonomous Transaction fired from the trigger to get around the commit executed by CTX_DDL.SYNC_INDEX. Another approach I would pursue is to evaluate the use of Catalog Indexes (8.1.7). If your requirements fit within the catalog index limitations (more like an Intermedia Text-lite) then you are in luck since they are transactional, hence no need for periodic synchronization. HTH
