Hi,

I've the following problem and I don't know how to solve it: There is a table with about 10-12 fields, a couple of those fields are updated very often (about 30 times / minute or even more). This is my table (more or less):

crete table monitor(
   time Timestamp,
   time2 timestamp,
   ...
   status int,
);

I need to know how many rows are in the table and keep that number to another table every time that there is an INSERT or DELETE on that table, so I made a trigger that fires on insert and delete events and calls a function that makes de update on the new table, that works well. My problem starts when I have to count the rows depending on the status field: I added a UPDATE on my trigger and it works! :)...... my trigger:

CREATE TRIGGER tr_barra_aps AFTER INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE
   ON monitor EXECUTE PROCEDURE f_barra_aps();

But now, this trigger fires too often and there is an extra load on the system that makes everything run slower. I posted before a question asking about firing triggers on specific columns...thats not possible. I don't know how to solve it, perhaps I should do it without triggers.....any help will be appreciated

thanks!
