Using Triggers to enforce constraints with two tables - oracle

I'm trying to create a trigger that ensures that any insert into the PC table does not have a model ID that already exists in the laptop table. I edited the statement a few times, but I keep getting Warning: Trigger created with compilation errors.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER chk_models
BEFORE INSERT ON PC
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE mcount :=0;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*)
INTO mcount
FROM PC
JOIN Laptop
ON :NEW.model=Laptop.model;
IF mcount!=0
THEN RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20004, "Model Number Violation");
END IF;
END;
Do you have any advice on how I might fix this?

Declare variable mcount's datatype and use single quotes for text. Also, the join is redundant, so I removed it.
This should work for you:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER chk_models
BEFORE INSERT ON PC
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
mcount int :=0;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*)
INTO mcount
from Laptop
where model = :NEW.model;
IF mcount!=0
THEN RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20004, 'Model Number Violation');
END IF;
END;

How can I get the inserted primary key value from AFTER INSERT trigger in Oracle?

My Oracle DB has a table DOC_WF_COMM and its primary key is DWFC_ID. Primary key value is based on a sequence called SQ_DOC_WF_COMM.
I have created a row level AFTER INSERT trigger on that table and inside the trigger I need to join the inserted record with some other tables like this:
create or replace TRIGGER TRG_DOC_WF_COMM_AFT_INS AFTER INSERT ON DOC_WF_COMM REFERENCING OLD AS OLD NEW AS NEW FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
L_SUBJECT VARCHAR2(300);
L_BODY CLOB;
L_PNT_CODE VARCHAR(100) := NULL;
L_DR_PRJ_ID NUMBER(12);
L_STR_EMAIL VARCHAR2(120);
L_DWFC_TO_USR_ID VARCHAR2(12);
L_PNT_ID NUMBER(12);
L_PNT_EMAIL_YN VARCHAR(1);
L_PNT_ACTIVE_YN VARCHAR(1);
L_PNT_NOTIFY_YN VARCHAR(1);
BEGIN
IF INSERTING THEN
L_PNT_CODE := 'WFNT_MESSAGE';
SELECT DR_PRJ_ID, STR_EMAIL, DWFC_TO_USR_ID INTO L_DR_PRJ_ID, L_STR_EMAIL, L_DWFC_TO_USR_ID
FROM DOC_WF_COMM
JOIN DOC_WF_USERS ON DWFU_ID = DWFC_DWFU_ID
JOIN DOC_WORKFLOW ON DWF_ID = DWFU_DWF_ID
JOIN DOCUMENT_REF ON DR_ID = DWF_DR_ID
JOIN ST_REGISTER ON STR_ID = DWFU_STR_ID
WHERE DWFC_ID = :NEW.DWFC_ID AND DWFC_RESPONSE IS NULL;
-- SOME QUERIES HERE
END IF;
END;
The trigger is compiled successfully and when I insert record into DOC_WF_COMM table I get this error:
ORA-01403: no data found ORA-06512
The error is :NEW.DWFC_ID in WHERE clause and I have change it to these values:
:OLD.DWFC_ID
SQ_DOC_WF_COMM.NEXTVAL
SQ_DOC_WF_COMM.CURRVAL
But no any luck. Any idea why this error is and how can I resolve it?
The problem is this line in your trigger:
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
That means the trigger executes as an isolated transaction in a separate session, which means it cannot see the uncommitted state of any other session. Crucially this includes the session which fires the trigger, so the autonomous transaction cannot see the record you just inserted. Hence, NO_DATA_FOUND.
You haven't posted the whole trigger or explained what you're trying to do, so only you know why you have included the PRAGMA. However, the chances are you don't need it. Remove the PRAGMA (and the COMMIT) and your trigger should work just fine.
If I understood you correctly, create a local variable and put the next sequence value in there. Then it can be referenced throughout the code, always having the same value. Something like this:
declare
l_seq number := my_seq.nextval;
begin
insert into table_a (id, ...) values (l_seq, ...);
update table_b set id = l_seq where ...
select ... into ... from ... where id = l_seq;
end;
I changed the query inside the trigger to this, it is working fine
SELECT STR_PRJ_ID, STR_EMAIL, :NEW.DWFC_TO_USR_ID INTO L_DR_PRJ_ID, L_STR_EMAIL, L_DWFC_TO_USR_ID
FROM DOC_WF_USERS, ST_REGISTER
WHERE :NEW.DWFC_TO_USR_ID = DWFU_US_ID AND DWFU_STR_ID = STR_ID AND DWFU_ID = :NEW.DWFC_DWFU_ID;
Not sure why is that. If anyone can figure out the mistake in the query given in the question, please let me know. Thanks

Oracle PL/SQL bad bind variable

I checked all my fields and everything is fine but i keep on getting this error
When i write this trigger on sql command it says trigger has been created but when i checked on the trigger it showed invalid
This is my trigger
create or replace trigger "Max_Crew_T1"
Before insert or update on "CREW"
for each row
declare
v_count number;
Begin
select count(*) into v_count from CREW where AirPlaneID=:NEW.AirPlaneID;
if
v_count > 5
then
Raise_Application_ERROR(-20343,'Crew number exceeded');
END IF;
END;
HERE IS THE ERROR MESSAGE;
PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'NEW.AIRPLANEID'
click on the link below for table desc
The error is because you defined the airplane id while creating the table in quotes. I.e "AirPlaneID" hence you need to do the same in the trigger.
It is not a good practice to define case-sensitive columns with quotes as it causes all these issues, its much better to define without quotes eg. create table crew (airplaneid number(6))..etc. Anyway..
Please use below:
create or replace trigger "Max_Crew_T1"
Before insert or update on "CREW"
for each row
declare
v_count number;
Begin
select count(*) into v_count from CREW where "AirPlaneID"=:NEW."AirPlaneID";
if
v_count > 5
then
Raise_Application_ERROR(-20343,'Crew number exceeded');
END IF;
END;

trigger after insert on table

create or replace
trigger addpagamento
after insert on marcacoes_refeicoes
for each row
declare
nmarcacaoa number;
ncartaoa number;
begin
select nmarcacao into nmarcacaoa from marcacoes_refeicoes where rownum < (select count(*) from marcacoes_refeicoes);
select ncartao into ncartaoa from marcacoes_refeicoes where rownum < (select count(*) from marcacoes_refeicoes);
insert_pagamentos(nmarcacaoa, ncartaoa); --this is a procedure
exception when others then
raise_application_error(-20001, 'Error in Trigger!!!');
end addpagamento;
when i try to run the insert statement to the table "marcacoes_refeicoes" this procedure gives error: like the table is mutating
create or replace
procedure insert_pagamentos
(nmarcacaoa in number, ncartaoa in number)
AS
BEGIN
insert into pagamentos (nmarcacao, datapagamento, ncartao) values (nmarcacaoa, sysdate, ncartaoa);
commit;
END INSERT_PAGAMENTOS;
Short (oversimplified) answer:
You can't modify a table in a trigger that changes the table.
Long answer:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/mutating-table-exceptions.php has a more in-depth explanation, including suggestions how to work around the problem.
You're hitting the mutating-table problem because you're selecting from the same table the trigger is on, but what you seem to be trying to do doesn't make sense. Your queries to get a value for nmarcacaoa and ncartaoa will return a no_data_found or too_many_rows error unless the table had exactly 2 rows in it before your insert:
select nmarcacao from marcacoes_refeicoes
where rownum < (select count(*) from marcacoes_refeicoes);
will return all rows except one; and the one that's excluded will be kind of random as you have no ordering. Though the state is undetermined within the trigger, so you can't really how many rows there are, and it won't let you do this query anyway. You won't normally be able to get a single value, anyway, and it's not obvious which value you actually want.
I can only imagine that you're trying to use the values from the row you are currently inserting, and putting them in your separate payments (pagamentos) table. If so there is a built-in mechanism to do that using correlation names, which lets you refer to the newly inserted row as :new (by default):
create or replace
trigger addpagamento
after insert on marcacoes_refeicoes
for each row
begin
insert_pagamentos(:new.nmarcacaoa, :new.ncartaoa);
end addpagamento;
The :new is referring to the current row, so :new.nmarcacaoa is the nmarcacaoa being inserted. You don't need to (and can't) get that value from the table itself. (Even with the suggested autonomous pragma, that would be a separate transaction and would not be able to see your newly inserted and uncommitted data).
Or you can just do the insert directly; not sure what the procedure is adding here really:
create or replace
trigger addpagamento
after insert on marcacoes_refeicoes
for each row
begin
insert into pagamentos(nmarcacao, datapagamento, ncartao)
values (:new.nmarcacaoa, sysdate, :new.ncartaoa);
end addpagamento;
I've removed the exception handler as all it was doing was masking the real error, which is rather unhelpful.
Editing this answer in view of the comments below:
You can use PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION to get rid of the error, but DONOT USE it as it will NOT solve any purpose.
Use PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION:
create or replace
trigger addpagamento
after insert on marcacoes_refeicoes
for each row
declare
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
nmarcacaoa number;
ncartaoa number;
begin
select nmarcacao into nmarcacaoa from marcacoes_refeicoes where rownum < (select count(*) from marcacoes_refeicoes);
select ncartao into ncartaoa from marcacoes_refeicoes where rownum < (select count(*) from marcacoes_refeicoes);
insert_pagamentos(nmarcacaoa, ncartaoa); --this is a procedure
exception when others then
raise_application_error(-20001, 'Error in Trigger!!!');
end addpagamento;
However in this case , select count(*) from marcacoes_refeicoes will give you the new count after the current insertion into the table.

Inserting multiple records from a trigger in oracle

i created a trigger to insert the employeeIDs whenever a position is updated.
In some cases, there are many employees attached to one position so the trigger isnt able to insert all the employees (only 1). i need all the employee Ids
can any1 help me with this code?
Regards
create or replace trigger postn_updt
after update on postn
for each row
declare
cursor m is
select u.login
from user u,
party_per s
where u.row_id=s.person_id
and s.party_id=:new.row_id;
rownum varchar2(10);
begin
if updating ('postn_type_cd') then
open mult;
fetch mult into rownum;
insert into test123
(employee_number,type,request_date,remarks)
values
(( rownum,
'Updated',sysdate,''
);
close m;
end if;
end;
Triggers != Application code
If you embed application code in trigger like this then it will be horrible to maintain and debug and you'll always be encountering situations where a trigger-based approach won't work because of a mutating table error.
You would do much better to keep triggers for only auditing and other non-application activities, and put this kind of logic in the application itself.
to insert multiple rows you will need either a LOOP or some form of "INSERT... SELECT" statement.
eg.
create or replace trigger postn_updt
after update on postn
for each row
declare
cursor m is
select u.login
from user u,
party_per s
where u.row_id=s.person_id
and s.party_id=:new.row_id;
begin
if updating ('postn_type_cd') then
for mult_rec in m LOOP
insert into test123
(employee_number,type,request_date,remarks)
values
(( mult_rec.login,
'Updated',sysdate,''
);
END LOOP;
end if;
end;
OR
create or replace trigger postn_updt
after update on postn
for each row
declare
begin
if updating ('postn_type_cd') then
insert into test123
(employee_number,type,request_date,remarks)
select u.login ,'Updated',sysdate,''
from user u,
party_per s
where u.row_id=s.person_id
and s.party_id=:new.row_id;
end if;
end;

Simple oracle insert

I am trying to simply insert some information to a table in Oracle using Forms. Sometimes the insert statement works, sometimes it doesn't. I'm just not experienced enough with Oracle to understand what's not working. Here's the code:
PROCEDURE create_account IS
temp_name varchar2(30);
temp_street varchar2(30);
temp_zip number(5);
temp_phone varchar2(30);
temp_login passuse.login%type;
temp_pass varchar2(30);
temp_total number(4);
temp_lgn passuse.lgn%type;
cursor num_cursor is
select MAX(ano)
from accounts;
cursor lgn_cursor is
select MAX(lgn)
from passuse;
BEGIN
temp_name:= Get_Item_Property('ACCOUNTS.A_NAME', database_value);
temp_street:= Get_Item_Property('ACCOUNTS.STREET', database_value);
temp_zip:= Get_Item_Property('ACCOUNTS.ZIP', database_value);
temp_phone:= Get_Item_Property('ACCOUNTS.STREET', database_value);
temp_login:= Get_Item_Property('PASSUSE.LOGIN', database_value);
temp_pass:= Get_Item_Property('PASSUSE.PASS', database_value);
open num_cursor;
fetch num_cursor into temp_total;
open lgn_cursor;
fetch lgn_cursor into temp_lgn;
if(lgn_cursor%found) then
if(num_cursor%found) then
temp_lgn := temp_lgn + 20;
--the trouble maker..
INSERT INTO passuse (lgn, a_type, login, pass)
VALUES (temp_lgn, 1, temp_login, temp_pass);
temp_total := temp_total+1;
INSERT INTO accounts(ano,lgn,a_name,street,zip,phone)
VALUES (temp_total,temp_lgn,temp_name,temp_street,temp_zip,temp_phone);
end if;
end if;
close lgn_cursor;
close num_cursor;
commit;
END;
To expand on #Mikpa's comment - it certainly appears that getting the values for ACCOUNTS.ANO and PASSUSE.LGN from sequences would be a good idea. Populating these fields automatically by using a trigger would also be helpful. Something like the following:
-- Note that the following is intended as a demo. When executing these statements
-- you'll probably have to modify them for your particular circumstances.
SELECT MAX(ANO) INTO nMax_ano FROM ACCOUNTS;
SELECT MAX(LGN) INTO nMax_lgn FROM PASSUSE;
CREATE SEQUENCE ACCOUNTS_SEQ START WITH nMax_ano+1;
CREATE SEQUENCE PASSUSE_SEQ START WITH nMax_lgn+1;
CREATE TRIGGER ACCOUNTS_BI
BEFORE INSERT ON ACCOUNTS
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SELECT ACCOUNTS_SEQ.NEXTVAL
INTO :NEW.ANO
FROM DUAL;
END ACCOUNTS_BI;
CREATE TRIGGER PASSUSE_BI
BEFORE INSERT ON PASSUSE
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SELECT PASSUSE_SEQ.NEXTVAL
INTO :NEW.LGN
FROM DUAL;
END PASSUSE_BI;
Having done the above you can now write your inserts into these tables as
INSERT INTO passuse (a_type, login, pass)
VALUES (1, temp_login, temp_pass)
RETURNING LGN INTO temp_lgn;
and
INSERT INTO accounts(lgn, a_name, street, zip, phone)
VALUES (temp_lgn, temp_name, temp_street, temp_zip, temp_phone);
Note that in the both statements the key values (PASSUSE.LGN and ACCOUNTS.ANO) are not mentioned in the field list as the new triggers should take care of filling them in correctly. Also note that when inserting into PASSUSE the RETURNING clause is used to get back the new value for LGN so it can be used in the insert into the ACCOUNTS table.
Share and enjoy.
