  That's good.

  RADIUS packets can come out of order.

  My $0.02 is to skip using a trigger.  Just run a stored procedure at the end of the billing cycle to copy the data to another table.  Then, run another stored procedure to do the "diffs" in usage between billing cycles.

  That way you're operating on the *data* and not on the *RADIUS packets*.  It's much safer.
