-- (even if only other columns are updated) because triggers can run after the deletion of referenced rows and
|

-- before the automatic deletion of the row that references it. This is not a problem for insert or delete.

-- After a row update begins, a concurrent update on the same row can't begin until the whole
|
||||
-- transaction that contains the first update is finished. To reduce this locking, statements in
|
||||
-- triggers should be ordered based on the likelihood of concurrent writers. For example, updating
|
||||
-- site_aggregates should be done last because the same row is updated for all local stuff. If
|
||||
-- it were not last, then the locking period for concurrent writers would extend to include the
|
||||
-- time consumed by statements that come after.
|
||||
-- Triggers that update multiple tables should use this order: person_aggregates, comment_aggregates,
|
||||
-- post_aggregates, community_aggregates, site_aggregates
|
||||
-- * The order matters because the updated rows are locked until the end of the transaction, and statements
|
||||
-- in a trigger don't use separate transactions. This means that updates closer to the beginning cause
|
||||
-- longer locks because the duration of each update extends the durations of the locks caused by previous
|
||||
-- updates. Long locks are worse on rows that have more concurrent transactions trying to update them. The
|
||||
-- listed order starts with tables that are less likely to have such rows.

|
||||
-- * Using the same order in every trigger matters because a deadlock is possible if multiple transactions
|
||||
-- update the same rows in a different order.
