More information is required: type of data that will typically be entered (VARCHAR2, NUMBER, CLOB), type of transactions (data entry, reporting), version of database would be helpful

comment How to make a duplicate field cheap?
How is the information entered in each table? Does one process write to each table consecutively? Or does the second entry get created later?

comment Can you trigger an action when a view is created?
this is how you can comment on a view: comment on table aschema.myview is 'number of issues by calendar year'; (notice how even if it is a view you have to say table) SELECT * FROM all_tab_comments WHERE owner = 'aschema'; but you will need privileges to query these system data views
