Subject "extra" triggers
Author vuqpham
I create a trigger on table A so that whenever A is updated, some
information from A ( and other tables ) will be created on B.

For some reason, one update on A sometimes creates two or three
records on B. The first time is when A is updated, and the 2nd ( and
3rd ) is 2 or 3 minutes after that.



The trigger is as follows :
set term !! ;
create trigger currinsp_updcon_update for currinsp
after update as
declare variable projectnumber char(12);
declare variable insid char(3);
BEGIN
if( EXTRACT( HOUR from NEW.CIS_DATE ) <> 0 OR EXTRACT(
MINUTE from NEW.CIS_DATE ) <> 0 ) THEN
BEGIN
select wks_projkey,ins_id from wksheets JOIN
inspectors on wks_insfk=ins_pk where wks_pk = OLD.CIS_WKSFK
into :projectnumber,:insid;
insert into projectupdate ( upd_proj, upd_inspcode,
upd_status, upd_datetime, upd_insid, upd_debugcode, upd_nowtime,
upd_fk ) values ( :projectnumber, OLD.CIS_CODE, NEW.CIS_STATUS,
NEW.CIS_DATE, :insid, 1, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, OLD.CIS_PK );
END
END !!
set term ; !!


( The field upd_nowtime is for debugging. It shows the repeated
records are created 2 or 3 minutes after the first one is created )

Any advice is greately appreciated.

Thanks,
