I have a task table that has a hierarchial structure as follows:
Visit One
Task A
Task B
Task C
FollowTask C1 FollowTask C2
Visit Two ...
I have completed/cancelled flags on every row. I have two major issues to keep track of.
I can put a lot of logic in the frontend application (and I need some for warning messages on issue 1) but I really wanted a backend solution. I would like a realtime solution as opposed to a nightly or hourly cleanup.
My guess is this is not a new chore and there are some good solutions out there. Right now I am thinking of something along the lines of
or something related but with DBMS_JOBS
From a users perspective they won't update a lot of tasks at once but the task table will get very large. So I am happy with a solution that works quickly on a small dataset and might need a bit of runtime if I have to do any batch processing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thx
