Ваша ситуация:
SQL> create table test1 (tcol varchar2(255), tcol2 varchar2(255))
2 /
Table created.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER testTRG
2 AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON test1
3 FOR EACH ROW
4 BEGIN
5 -- Your original trigger
6 update test1
7 set tcol2 = to_char(sysdate)
8 where tcol = :OLD.tcol;
9 END;
10 /
Trigger created.
SQL> insert into test1 (tcol) values ('test1');
insert into test1 (tcol) values ('test1')
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04091: table [schema].TEST1 is mutating, trigger/function may not see it
ORA-06512: at "[schema].TESTTRG", line 3
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger '[schema].TESTTRG'
Предложение Тони почти верно, но, к сожалению, оно не компилируется:
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER testTRG
2 AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE ON test1
3 FOR EACH ROW
4 BEGIN
5 -- Tony's suggestion
6 :new.tcol2 := sysdate;
7 END;
8 /
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER testTRG
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04084: cannot change NEW values for this trigger type
Поскольку вы можете изменять только НОВЫЕ значения в before-each-триггеры строк:
SQL> create or replace trigger testtrg
2 before insert or update on test1
3 for each row
4 begin
5 :new.tcol2 := sysdate;
6 end;
7 /
Trigger created.
SQL> insert into test1 (tcol) values ('test1');
1 row created.
SQL> select * from test1
2 /
