Re: table size

Hi David,

I'd say that if it is a new app develop it with 7.4 and use statement level
triggers otherwise you could use normal triggers and perform a count each
time but that will slow things down dramatically.

Other option is to use cron and write a daemon/script to periodically check
the size of the table.  Without statement level triggers this would probably
be the most efficient.

Rgds,

Jason
