Stored Statements

It is not possible to reference a long column in a Oracle database trigger, but it is possible to reference LOBs. From PeopleSoft v9 Applications, the long columns have become CLOBs. Hence, it is now possible to have a database trigger fire on insert into the Stored Statement table and so automatically make certain changes to Stored Statements as they are loaded by Data Mover. Previously, these changes could be made by a PL/SQL script, but you had to remember to run in after any Stored Statements were reloaded. I have published a new script (gfc_stmtid_trigger.sql) on my website that creates two such database triggers.

In previous postings, I have proposed locking statistics on temporary working storage tables and changing the DDL model for %UpdateStats to call my own PL/SQL Package.  That works for Application Engine programs, but PeopleSoft COBOL can also update object statistics, and they use a different mechanism.

In the case of the Global Payroll calculation engine, GPPDPRUN, the run control component has a secondary page with a check box to enable statistics collection during the process.
