Dieter - I don't believe I compared performance between the 2 options - I said that journaling performance is no longer the problem it used to be 25 years ago, when many people rejected journaling for that reason.

As to triggers, there is a potential for a performance problem, due to the synchronous nature of calling triggers.

NOTE - these are mutually exclusive - they have nothing to do with one another.

So there was nothing where I replicated myths. Done! and Done!

replicating myths about performance, without verification is part of the problem William (and others) have!!!
Comparing journaling with a trigger, writing a record (something like a shortened trigger image):
- read operations: no diffrence to the same operation with none of these
- insert operations: journal will outperform the trigger by far!!! it's a low level operation
- update/delete operations: the trigger might be better (has to be evaluated), if it is not fired for this operation. If you would need triggers for this too: journal will outperform triggers by far!!!
