Re: Trigger to update a value

Your TotalLineValue column is calculated from the values of other `material columns, so it should be either calculated when needed by queries, or made a derived column in the table, or made a column in a view based on the `material` table.

Your Trigger can just as easily say ...

... select sum(quantity*unit_price) from material ...

And btw Hungarian name notation (camel case, medial capitals) does improve readability but can wreak havoc when the db moves to a case-sensitive environment like Linux, best avoided.
