I am new to Oracle Workspace Manager. I have a trigger that fills my IDs every time i insert a record. I created the trigger before I enable the versioning of my table.
After versioning was enabled in my table, I can no longer find my trigger but have these triggers instead:
OVM_DELETE_7
OVM_INSERT_7
OVM_UPDATE_7
What I wanted to do is Query the triggers that I created on my tables. Is there a way to do that without disabling the versioning on my table? I have too many versioned-enabled tables and that would be a hassle disabling the version in every table just for that query.
To get a list of triggers created on a version-enabled tables that you(current user) owns, you can query USER_WM_TAB_TRIGGERS view or ALL_WM_TAB_TRIGGERS view (if you've been granted create any trigger privilege) to get information about triggers for all version-enabled tables.

I want to ask you if there is a solution to auto-synchronize a table ,e.g., every one minute based on view created in oracle.
This view is using data from another table. I've created a trigger but I noticed a big slowness in database whenever a user update a column or insert a row.
Furthermore, I've tested to create a job schedule on the specified table (Which I wanted to be synchronized with the view), however we don't have the privilege to do this.
Is there any other way to keep data updated between the table and the view ?
PS : I'm using toad for oracle V 12.9.0.71
A materialized view in Oracle is a database object that contains the results of a query. They are local copies of data located remotely, or are used to create summary tables based on aggregations of a table's data. Materialized views, which store data based on remote tables, are also known as snapshots.
Example:
SQL> CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW mv_emp_pk
REFRESH FAST START WITH SYSDATE
NEXT SYSDATE + 1/48
WITH PRIMARY KEY
AS SELECT * FROM emp#remote_db;
You can use cronjob or dbms_jobs to schedule a snapshot.
Let's say I created a table test_table in development just to test a trigger, this trigger would then be reused in many other tables (future and existing).
So I code the trigger, test it, all good! But at the moment, if I want to replicate it, I will have to copy it from test_table's triggers and edit it.
So if someone deletes the table accidentally, the trigger is gone, and I don't have it saved nowhere else. Or if I just want to delete random test tables in our database, I can't.
What's a recommended way to save a trigger as a "template" in oracle? So I can reuse it in other tables and have it not be dependant of a random test table, or any table.
There are a lot of ways you can keep a copy of your TRIGGER SQLText.
Here's a few examples.
In Version Control:
You can use any of the many version control tools to maintain a versioned history for any code you like, including SQL, PL/SQL, etc. You can rewind time, view differences over time, track changes to the template, even allow concurrent development.
As a Function:
If you want the template to live in the database, you can create a FUNCTION (or PACKAGE)that takes as parameters the target USER and TABLE, and it replaces the USER and TABLE values in its template to generate the SQLTEXT required to create or replace the template TRIGGER on the target TABLE. You can make it EDITIONABLE as needed.
In a Table:
You can always just create a TABLE that holds template TRIGGER SQLText as a CLOB or VARCHAR2. It would need to be somewhere where it isn't likele to be "randomly" deleted, though. You can AUDIT changes to the TABLE's data, to see the template change over time. Oracle has tons of auditing options.
In the logs:
You can just log (all) DDL out. If you ENABLE_DDL_LOGGING, the log xml will have a copy of every DDL statement, categorized, along with when and where it came from.
I have around 500 tables in DB. If there is any DML operations performed on that table then trigger should be fired to capture those dml activities and should load it into an audit table. I dont want to write 500 individual triggers. Any simple method to achieve this?
To switch all high level auditing of DML statements for all tables:
AUDIT INSERT TABLE, UPDATE TABLE, DELETE TABLE;
What objects we can manage depends on what privileges we have. Find out more.
AUDIT will write basic information to the audit trail. The destination depends on the value of the AUDIT_TRAIL parameter. If the parameter is set to db the output is written to a database table: we can see our trail in USER_AUDIT_TRAIL or (if we have the privilege) everything in DBA_AUDIT_TRAIL.
The audit trail is high level, which means it records that user FOX updated the EMP table but doesn't tell us which records or what the actual changes were. We can implement granular auditing by creating Fine-Grained Audit policies. This requires a lot more work on our part so we may decide not to enable it for all our tables. Find out more.
Triggers are used on tables only, not the entire database. Ignoring the complexity of maintaining disparate data types, data use, context of various tables and their use, what you are looking for would be extremely complex, something no RDBMS has addressed at the database level.
There is some information on triggers at this link:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/A57673_01/DOC/server/doc/SCN73/ch15.htm
You could place a trigger on each table that calls the same procedure ... but then all that complexity comes into play.
Can anyone suggest a good event pattern design or framework for changes in table in oracle.
Changes are not just the based on the column value change,but also the business driven logic .All the logging should be driven by some event setup.
At the end we track the changes and drive the business logic based on the changes .
I might be talking too high level,sorry for that :)
Assume TableA needs to be tracked for ColumnA.
Create AUDIT_TRAIL Table with columns TABLENAME, COLUMNNAME, OLDVALUE,NEWVALUE, DATEANDTIME, PK_SEQ
Create a Trigger to poll TableA for any change in ColumnA, and insert them into AUDIT_TRAIL (PK_SEQ should be a Oracle Sequence Number, DATEANDTIME should be from sysdate)
Something like this for trigger
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trg_table_audit
before insert or update or delete on tableA REFERENCING NEW AS NEW OLD AS OLD
for each row
begin
if inserting or deleting then
insert into audittrail (....)
Reading the fine manual: Using Triggers to Write Audit Data to a Separate Table:
You can use triggers to supplement the built-in auditing features of Oracle Database. The trigger that you create records user actions to a separate database table. When an activity fires the trigger, the trigger records the action in this table. Triggers are useful when you want to record customized information such as before-and-after changes to a table.
Reading even more the fine manual: PL/SQL Triggers:
A trigger is like a stored procedure that Oracle Database invokes automatically whenever a specified event occurs.
On top of that you can build a setup engine that turns triggers on and off. The "business logic" can later read the data recorded by the triggers.
I assume you're not interested in auditing. For the details see e.g. Verifying Security Access with Auditing.
How about you start with using TRIGGERS? And then from there, you could call procedures/functions from a package body for tracking the changes on the table/s.
I have a requirement to populate an audit column with current timestamp only if there are any updates to the table. Here is the trigger. Trigger works fine
create or replace TRIGGER test.Audit_Trigger
BEFORE UPDATE ON test.TEST_TABLE
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
:NEW.column_dtm := current_timestamp;
END;
Instead of adding same trigger for every table (around 1000 tables means 1000 triggers) with only change in table name, is there any other better way to accomplish this task?
It would be nice if you could write a schema level trigger to do this, but unfortunately Oracle only supports schema level triggers for DDL, not for DML.
You could generate triggers on each table quite easily using dynamic SQL, but assuming your DB version is reasonably recent (9i or later I think), a better alternative might be to talk to your DBA about turning on fine grained auditing for table updates.
