Ta for the suggestion, but I think unfortunately my 'criteria' for deciding
whether to insert a new row are too convoluted to be expressed as direct
column or table constraints - for example they include the current value of
package data variables (can I do this in a constraint?). I did consider
trying to implement the constraints as triggers, but it seemed to me that I
would end up with two copies of all my application code - one in the stored
package and one in the triggers! I was hoping there'd be a simpler method -
the SPs themselves are very short, so I'm happy for other sessions to be
blocked temporarily while they execute.
