Hello,

I'm wondering what is better in performance - against database design..

I have an order table (master) in which I calculate the totals of the
lines table (detail)

What is better?

1. add a computed field to the order table and calculate it by a (Select
Qty * price where MasterID = DetailID)

or

2. compute the field through a stored procedure in which the totals
where calculated.

The last option has the advantage the select queries are faster, but the
"Total-amount" field is redundant in the database and the chance of
errors is bigger...

Thanks,


Eric
