Re: Get Record Creation Date

Hi Guys,

at my place, journal is mandatory for the core process.
But what i did is not the core process that maintain internally.

If I can choose exclude my problem.. between trigger and journal.
I will choose journal for its value not the performance.


Journal VS Trigger
Cons :
- It will required extra spaces - true
- Might be slower than trigger

Pros :
- Spesific details on what happened to the file
- Can do the rollback if it is needed
- Required at my place for the Disaster Recovery process

In the future :
1. Spaces will have more cheaper and larger.
2. Performance, i bet i am sure. IBM will release new machine or OS that
will boost the performance

If in the process that i need the report that has to combine between fields
and the journal cannot do.
I will add the trigger on journal file.

the condition is relative, If the company has no problem with the money...

Vern,

It's clear that William has been given a directive vis-à-vis the date of

verboten.

It's okay if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.
