Hi again, (if wrong group, please advise)


with the advent of cheap diskspace, has the
COMPUTED BY clause not become obsolete?

I mean, we now create shadow fields with
the calculation already done - i.e. if
before it was "(Field3) COMPUTED BY Field1 + Field2",
could you not have an on update trigger
SET VALUE (for Field3) = Field1 + Field2?

What are the advantages of a COMPUTED BY field?


Again,any thoughts &c.


Paul...
