I am designing a web application using php and mysql. I have a little doubt in database.
The application is like

  1. Users get themselves registered.
  2. Users input workload (after login ofcourse 🙂 ).
  3. User logs out.

Now there are multiple types of inputs which i accept on a same form. Say there are 3 types of inputs and they are stored in 7 different tables (client requirement 🙁 )

Now my question is what is the best way to fire a query after inputs are done ?
For now i can think of following ways.

  1. Fire 7 different queries from php
  2. Write a trigger to propagate inputs in appropriate tables ?

Just guide me which approach is performance efficient ?
Thanks 🙂

    Generally you want to stay away from triggers because you will be penalized later if you have to load a lot of data. Stored procedures are the way to go. You can have different conditions set to propagate inputs into different tables if needed.
