Referred this answer that update triggers on every insert on tableA
.
Scenario is,
In tableA
, we have WATERMARK_FLAG
column of type CHAR(1)
with possible values Y
or N
In tableB
, we have PROCESSED_FLAG
column of type CHAR(1)
with possible values Y
or N
There is no primary key - foreign key relation between two tables
Primary key columns are same in both tables
PK(col_1, col_3, col_4)
On INSERT
of record in tableA
with WATERMARK_FLAG
as Y
update PROCESSED_FLAG
with Y
in all rows of tableB
How to provide PL/SQL trigger syntax for specific INSERT
?
Would be this one
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER bi_tableA
BEFORE INSERT ON bi_tableA
FOR EACH ROW
WHEN (WATERMARK_FLAG = 'Y')
DECLARE
BEGIN
UPDATE tableB
SET PROCESSED_FLAG = 'Y';
END bi_tableA;

However, the performance could decrease. But I assume this is just an exercise.
