Hi, We used to use Oracle database in which we had audit triggers(something as below) mandated for all tables by the control team. Now we are going to use the postgresql 15.4 database for one of our applications. So,wanted to understand if there exists any downside of such audit trigger setup for all the tables? Will it impact the bulk data insert/update/delete OR slowdown of any of the DML operations significantly (and thus will not be advisable to use for all tables but selected ones)?
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TAB_AUD_TRG BEFORE DELETE OR INSERT OR UPDATE ON tab FOR EACH ROW BEGIN IF inserting THEN :NEW.create_timestamp := systimestamp; :NEW.create_userid := sys_context('USERENV','SESSION_USER'); :NEW.update_timestamp := systimestamp; :NEW.update_userid := sys_context('USERENV','SESSION_USER'); ELSIF updating THEN IF updating('create_userid') OR updating('create_timestamp') THEN :new.create_userid := :old.create_userid; :new.create_timestamp := :old.create_timestamp; END IF; :NEW.update_timestamp := systimestamp; :NEW.update_userid := sys_context('USERENV','SESSION_USER'); END IF; END; /
