Personally I'd have your trigger put the necessary data into a queue to run the report then have some other process take that data off asynchronously. Either pop it in a table and do it yourself or use a robust distributed broker protocol platform like RabbitMQ or Apache ActiveMQ or Kafka.

I want a trigger to... 1) compose an html report based on DB content 2) email the report to a dist list (dl = value of a table column) If this will involve hybrid coding, I prefer PL/perl. The linux env has both "mail" and "mutt" (if this is of any help). The idea is to send a report to the list when all the data has been collected for a particular job and the final status of the job is updated as a col of a rec of a certain table. Probably a post update trigger. Thanks for any ideas :-) Telephone: Witham: +44(0)1376 503500 | London: +44 (0)20 3009 0853 | Frankfurt: +49 (0)69 7191 6000 | Hong Kong: +852 5803 1687 | Toronto: +1 647 503 2848 Web: https://www.manifest.co.uk/ Minerva Analytics Ltd - A Solactive Company 9 Freebournes Court | Newland Street | Witham | Essex | CM8 2BL | United Kingdom ________________________________ Copyright: This e-mail may contain confidential or legally privileged information.
