The Accounting / On menu function initializes the recording of statistical information about resources used. This information is kept for a particular session. It is entered into the table SYSACCOUNT which has the following structure:
The data collected in the table SYSACCOUNT can be evaluated for a user-specific accounting. The data is not implicitly deleted or overwritten.
For sessions that do not leave traces in the table SYSACCOUNT although they run for a very long time, there is the Accounting / Trigger menu function. This function can be used to signal each user session to enter a row of information into the table SYSACCOUNT. This signal is always checked before a new SQL statement is executed. After processing the signal, it has become meaningless. This means that a new entry can only be made using Accounting / Trigger again or at the end of the session.
