Hi, We are currently evaluating the feasibility of executing long-running scripts written in shell-script (plsh) called by triggers (after update/insert) to synchronize two databases. Will triggers (after update specifically) cause the execution of SQL-commands to pause until the trigger-function has returned (at statement execution time or commit)? The other possible approach would be to use polling on some trigger-updated timestamp-column, which is not pretty but should be fairly simple.
