trigger after insert on table - oracle

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.

Insert into not working on plsql in oracle

declare
vquery long;
cursor c1 is
select * from temp_name;
begin
for i in c1
loop
vquery :='INSERT INTO ot.temp_new(id)
select '''||i.id||''' from ot.customers';
dbms_output.put_line(i.id);
end loop;
end;
/
Output of select * from temp_name is :
ID
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
customer_id
1 row selected.
I have customers table which has customer_id column.I want to insert all the customer_id into temp_new table but it is not being inserted. The PLSQL block executes successfully but the temp_new table is empty.
The output of dbms_output.put_line(i.id); is
customer_id
What is wrong there?
The main problem is that you generate a dynamic statement that you never execute; at some point you need to do:
execute immediate vquery;
But there are other problems. If you output the generated vquery string you'll see it contains:
INSERT INTO ot.temp_new(id)
select 'customer_id' from ot.customers
which means that for every row in customers you'll get one row in temp_new with ID set to the same fixed literal 'customer_id'. It's unlikely that's what you want; if customer_id is a column name from customers then it shouldn't be in single quotes.
As #mathguy suggested, long is not a sensible data type to use; you could use a CLOB but only really need a varchar2 here. So something more like this, where I've also switched to use an implicit cursor:
declare
l_stmt varchar2(4000);
begin
for i in (select id from temp_name)
loop
l_stmt := 'INSERT INTO temp_new(id) select '||i.id||' from customers';
dbms_output.put_line(i.id);
dbms_output.put_line(l_stmt);
execute immediate l_stmt;
end loop;
end;
/
db<>fiddle
The loop doesn't really make sense though; if your temp_name table had multiple rows with different column names, you'd try to insert the corresponding values from those columns in the customers table into multiple rows in temp_new, all in the same id column, as shown in this db<>fiddle.
I guess this is the starting point for something more complicated, but still seems a little odd.

Using INSERT INTO... SELECT in TRIGGER

The question I am going to ask is already there. But I don't have answer for this.
Please refer the below link.
ORACLE TRIGGER INSERT INTO ... (SELECT * ...)
I have around 600 columns in a table. After each insert in this table I need to insert the new row in another backup table.
Please tell how to use "INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME2 SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME1" query in trigger.
Note: Without specifying columns in insert or select clause
Structure of both table is same. Specifying all the column name in trigger is difficult and also if new columns added, we need to add in trigger as well.
SQL> CREATE or REPLACE TRIGGER emp_after_insert AFTER INSERT ON emp
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
BEGIN
insert into emp_backup values (:new.empid, :new.fname, :new.lname);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Record successfully inserted into emp_backup table');
END;
reference:
http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/19839/oracle-using-the-after-insert-and-after-update-triggers/
You should use COMPOUND TRIGGER. This trigger should look like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER t_copy_table1
FOR INSERT ON table1
COMPOUND TRIGGER
v_id number;
BEFORE EACH ROW IS
BEGIN
v_id := :new.id;
END BEFORE EACH ROW;
AFTER STATEMENT IS
BEGIN
insert into table2 select * from table1 where id=v_id;
END AFTER STATEMENT;
END t_copy_table1;

FORALL+ EXECUTE IMMEDIATE + INSERT Into tbl SELECT

I have got stuck in below and getting syntax error - Please help.
Basically I am using a collection to store few department ids and then would like to use these department ids as a filter condition while inserting data into emp table in FORALL statement.
Below is sample code:
while compiling this code i am getting error, my requirement is to use INSERT INTO table select * from table and cannot avoid it so please suggest.
create or replace Procedure abc(dblink VARCHAR2)
CURSOR dept_id is select dept_ids from dept;
TYPE nt_dept_detail IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(25);
l_dept_array nt_dept_detail;
Begin
OPEN dept_id;
FETCH dept_id BULK COLLECT INTO l_dept_array;
IF l_dept_array.COUNT() > 0 THEN
FORALL i IN 1..l_dept_array.COUNT SAVE EXCEPTIONS
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'INSERT INTO stg_emp SELECT
Dept,''DEPT_10'' FROM dept_emp'||dblink||' WHERE
dept_id = '||l_dept_array(i)||'';
COMMIT;
END IF;
CLOSE dept_id;
end abc;
Why are you bothering to use cursors, arrays etc in the first place? Why can't you just do a simple insert as select?
Problems with your procedure as listed above:
You don't declare procedures like Procedure abc () - for a standalone procedure, you would do create or replace procedure abc as, or in a package: procedure abc is
You reference a variable called "dblink" that isn't declared anywhere.
You didn't put end abc; at the end of your procedure (I hope that was just a mis-c&p?)
You're effectively doing a simple insert as select, but you're way over-complicating it, plus you're making your code less performant.
You've not listed the column names that you're trying to insert into; if stg_emp has more than two columns or ends up having columns added, your code is going to fail.
Assuming your dblink name isn't known until runtime, then here's something that would do what you're after:
create Procedure abc (dblink in varchar2)
is
begin
execute immediate 'insert into stg_emp select dept, ''DEPT_10'' from dept_emp#'||dblink||
' where dept_id in (select dept_ids from dept)';
commit;
end abc;
/
If, however, you do know the dblink name, then you'd just get rid of the execute immediate and do:
create Procedure abc (dblink in varchar2)
is
begin
insert into stg_emp -- best to list the column names you're inserting into here
select dept, 'DEPT_10'
from dept_emp#dblink
where dept_id in (select dept_ids from dept);
commit;
end abc;
/
There appears te be a lot wrong with this code.
1) why the execute immediate? Is there any explicit requirement for that? No, than don't use it
2) where is the dblink variable declared?
3) as Boneist already stated, why not a simple subselect in the insert statement?
INSERT INTO stg_emp SELECT
Dept,'DEPT_10' FROM dept_emp#dblink WHERE
dept_id in (select dept_ids from dept );
For one, it would make the code actually readable ;)

Create trigger to insert into another table

I have some problem executing the trigger below:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER AFTERINSERTCREATEBILL
AFTER INSERT
ON READING
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
varReadNo Int;
varMeterID Int;
varCustID Varchar(10);
BEGIN
SELECT SeqReadNo.CurrVal INTO varReadNo FROM DUAL;
Select MeterID INTO varMeterID
From Reading
Where ReadNo = varReadNo;
Select CustID INTO varCustID
From Address A
Join Meter M
on A.postCode = M.postCode
Where M.MeterID = varMeterID;
INSERT INTO BILL VALUES
(SEQBILLNO.NEXTVAL, SYSDATE, 'UNPAID' , 100 , varCustID , SEQREADNO.CURRVAL);
END;
Error Message:
*Cause: A trigger (or a user defined plsql function that is referenced in
this statement) attempted to look at (or modify) a table that was
in the middle of being modified by the statement which fired it.
*Action: Rewrite the trigger (or function) so it does not read that table.
Does it mean that I am not suppose to retrieve any details from table Reading?
I believe that the issue occur as I retrieving data from Table Reading while it is inserting the value:
SELECT SeqReadNo.CurrVal INTO varReadNo FROM DUAL;
Select MeterID INTO varMeterID
From Reading
Where ReadNo = varReadNo;
It's there anyway to resolve this? Or is there a better method to do this? I need to insert a new row into table BILL after entering the table Reading where the ReadNo need to reference to the ReadNo I just insert.
You cannot retrieve records from the same table in a row trigger. You can access values from actual record using :new and :old (is this your case?). The trigger could then be rewritten to
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER AFTERINSERTCREATEBILL
AFTER INSERT
ON READING
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
varCustID Varchar(10);
BEGIN
Select CustID INTO varCustID
From Address A
Join Meter M
on A.postCode = M.postCode
Where M.MeterID = :new.MeterID;
INSERT INTO BILL VALUES
(SEQBILLNO.NEXTVAL, SYSDATE, 'UNPAID' , 100 , varCustID , SEQREADNO.CURRVAL);
END;
If you need to query other record from READING table you have to use a combination of statement triggers, row trigger and a PLSQL collection. Good example of this is on AskTom.oracle.com
Make sure that you have the necessary permissions on all the tables and access to the sequences you're using in the insert.
I haven't done Oracle in awhile, but you can also try querying dba_errors (or all_errors) in order to try and get more information on why your SP isn't compiling.
Something to the tune of:
SELECT * FROM dba_errors WHERE owner = 'THEOWNER_OF_YOUR_SP';
Add exception handling in your trigger and see what is happening, by doing it would be easy for you to track the exceptions.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER AFTERINSERTCREATEBILL
AFTER INSERT
ON READING
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
varCustID Varchar(10);
BEGIN
-- your code
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(SQLERRM(-20299)));
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(SQLERRM(-20298)));
END;
we can combined insert and select statement
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER AFTERINSERTCREATEBILL
AFTER INSERT
ON READING
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
varCustID Varchar(10);
BEGIN
insert into bill
values
select SEQBILLNO.NEXTVAL,
SYSDATE,
'UNPAID' ,
100 ,
CustID,SEQREADNO.CURRVAL
From Address A
Join Meter M
on A.postCode = M.postCode
Where M.MeterID = :new.MeterID;
END;
try the above code.

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.
