Re:More details on integration

Ok, there are two ways to do this, both of which take advantage of PostgreSQL triggers.



But that's the wrong approach. Integration based on PostgreSQL triggers means I need intimate knowledge of the database schema. If the database schema ever changes, my triggers might break or be inappropriate.



I want triggers like:


  • $X.YY has been received from customer Q and posted as Cash Received.

  • Invoice nnnn has been fully paid.

  • Invoice mmmm is now 30 days past due (this would probably need to be checked from cron)


These high-level actions need an API, something you alluded to.
