Puede usar una vista, pero también puede usar disparadores para actualizar automáticamente su tabla de búfer cuando modifica la tabla de puntos original. Esto es realmente útil si no desea regenerar los búferes cada vez que ve su tabla, ya que el cálculo del búfer es una tarea intensiva de la CPU.
Aquí hay un ejemplo de código completo que lo implementa: una tabla de puntos y una tabla point_buffer que se actualiza automáticamente en función de las modificaciones de la tabla de puntos.
Puede probarlo con QGIS: abra ambas tablas, ingrese al modo de edición en la tabla de puntos. Mueva un punto o cambie el valor de buffer_distance, y cada vez que guarde, la capa de búfer se actualizará.
