Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Database triggers question
Raj,
I guess I would have a personal preference for a stored procedure called by the trigger, but for the life of me, can't declare that one is better than the other. Does replacing a trigger place an exclusive lock on the table will it is being processed? I don't think so, but if it did, it might be a good reason for not having it there.
The only other thing that I would worry about is the length of the PL/SQL. Is there a maximum length allowed? If so, having the processing in a packlage (that could call other packages) would help you there.
Again, I think I would move it out to a package.
hope this helps

Testing is a taboo ...
Well, they do the testing, but it is never enough. Usually a release is followed by 2/3 emergency fixes for a real developer anyway. (before anyone jumps on this statement let me say is loudly that I have been a developer for past 7 years and just joined the dark side.)
My problem is, " is it a good idea to have large triggers or package the code and call it from triggers" ? Can someone throw a light on this?

Hmmm.... Sounds like you have some real duhvelopers there.
Unit testing of code is much easier when it's outside of a trigger.
But the folks you're working with may not do unit testing.
Is it possible? ;)
