Re: trigger instead of view

Posted By: Art Kagel
Date: Tuesday, 20 November 2012, at 9:05 a.m.

Cesar:

This is a case of the old adage "when all you have is a hammer, everything
starts to look like a nail." SPL is the wrong tool to solve the problem of
being too lazy to hand code alters to multiple table schema as well as an
INSTEAD OF trigger for a view over those tables. Also, I think that your
idea of multiple tables is the wrong tool to solve the original problem,
but I'll come back to that one at the end.

What I would do is to write a shell script possibly combined with an awk or
perl script that it calls (or do the whole thing in perl/ror/etc) that
takes the name and type of the new column you want to add and outputs the
alter statements for all of the tables and outputs your drop procedure
....; create procedure....; statements. The procedure itself should either
have a section for the insert into each table or build the insert, as you
have done below, but you have to build the actual values of the incoming
'new' structure into the insert string not the variable names of the
structure elements. What I would do is to leave a marker in comments in
the procedure code so that your script can just insert the code for the new
column(s) into the procedure at the correct location by editing the
existing version of the procedure. So, the procedure would look, in part,
something like this:

...
let lSQL="insert into h_dbases_"||lData||" values ( ";
let ISQL=rtrim(lSQL) || "'" || n.frstcol || "'";
...
let lSQL=rtrim(lSQL) || ",'" || n.lstcol || "'";
{ New Cols Insert Here }
let lSQL=rtrim(lSQL) || ");";
execute immediate lSQL;
...

Then your script will edit that basic SQL script, which you can either save
or generate on the fly using dbschema or myschema. Here's a simplfied awk
version:

awk '/New Cols Insert Here/{ printf "let lSQL=rtrim(lSQL) || \",\"\"|| n.%s
|| \"\"\";\n", newcol; }{ print $0; }' -v newcol=$1 <oldproc.sql
>newproc.sql

This will insert a new 'value' into the insert statement between the last
previously existing value and the marker comment.

Now, onto my other comment. Check out timeseries for this. It seems to me
that what you have is a regular timeseries! Altering the contnt columns of
the rowtype defining the timeseries will be a bit more complex, but I
expect that will be rare and the performance improvement during inserts and
queries will more than make up for that.
