You can use a WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK trigger in your table. Then, check if there's changes to be made. If there's none you don't do anything, but if there's any do a commit and update your column with sum. It's not a very good solution, but it works.

Yes, that's why i said it's not very good. The problem of firing very often can be fixed putting it on the trigger of the field, but then, if you click a column that is not the one of the trigger, it doesn't work too.
Ummm... Maybe a timer would work too, but i think it's too complicated to put here a timer just for this. And doing a select every 5 seconds would be very slow in a huge DB.
Try to see wich events fire in your application. To enable this, go to tools -> preferences -> execution tab -> check debug messages.
In a regular application, when you insert something and just push down key or push the mouse button wherever, it doesn't fire any event, but for your specific application you could try to catch it.
Good luck.
