I did some bulk load testing with triggers on v8.1.7.4 a few months ago.
All the trigger(s) had for code was a "NULL;" statement. The first trigger
increased the time 100% in the insert (ie: a load that took 1 minute
increased to 2 minutes with the trigger). Each additional trigger after
the first cost an additional 25%.
So I would read that as a 75% cost/increase to do the SQL to PLSQL switch.

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
I thought as much, from what I've heard and read. Does anyone know if
there's a way to figure out how much overhead the switches generate? I'm
guessing they would show up in trace files in the 'other CPU' category.

Since you the action switches from SQL to PL/SQL to enforce the trigger,
it sounds like a context switch to me.
FYI: This can be improved somewhat by adding "and rownum < 2 " into the
WHERE clauses of these. There will be noticable improvement when there
are many child rows.

Question:
If some idiot decides to circumvent Oracle's referential integrity and
re-implement it by using triggers (insert, update, delete) that checks the
foreign (parent/child) key fields in other tables like this,
declare numrows INTEGER;
begin
-- ApplicationForm is used if the state and other criteria match that
in
-- ApplicationFormCriteria ON PARENT DELETE RESTRICT
select count(*) into numrows
from ApplicationFormCriteria
where
ApplicationFormCriteria.applicationFormId =
:old.applicationFormId;
if (numrows > 0)
then
raise_application_error(
-20343,
'Database Integrity Violation - Cannot DELETE row in Table
''ApplicationForm'' because referencing row exists in table
''ApplicationFormCriteria'' for Primary Key (applicationFormId)=' ||
:old.applicationFormId
);
end if;
end;
would it cause context switching between the SQL & PL/SQL engines?
Yes, some genius did this in one of our databases. Two hundred
third/fourth normal form tables enforced by 800 triggers... I have him
registered to be stoned in public.
