Hi,

Markus - thanks for the clarification (clearly I did not pay enough
attention the other day, must be caffein-deficiency...)

Matt,

IMHO, if you NEED to store the derived value, you could consider running a
small database-side script at regular intervals (depending on how often you
push events through the API) that mimicks the client-side ASSIGN program
rule. Again depending on your database size etc, it might only take a
second or three to run such a script - which means you could consider
running it very frequently. OR you might find a way of using a trigger that
fires immediately after the API has inserted the event (note: I have not
used that myself for this purpose, so not sure)

Regards
Calle
