[SQL-Ledger-users] PostgreSQL triggers?

[Benjamin L. <ben...@co...>]

This is just a thought...

I was going through the code, and I was wondering to myself whether it
would robustify matters any to move the 'update_balance' code into the
database layer with triggers and then have the 'chart' table updated
by the triggers.

Using triggers would of course put MySQL in a bit of a muddle, but it
would simplify the business processes in the application layer. I was
almost confused reading the bits between old_this and new_this. ;-)

I might stuff around with this trigger idea in the not too distant
future.

Comments?

P.S. Don't flame me about MySQL. I love MySQL; and in fact, I'm more
of a newcomer to PostgreSQL. I'm just poking around and the like.
