RE: run a program when a file changes

What happens with the target table? Does it need to be cleared and reloaded when the source table changes, or are the new rows just added?

How do the rows get from the source table to the target? Is it a simple copy, or is there other processing involved?

The entire file is cleared and new records inserted several times a day.  If I attach an on-insert trigger and 20,000 records are inserted, that means the trigger is pulled 20,000 times?

That sounds harsh to me?  So it seems prudent to ask.
