Help with AFTER INSERT trigger

you can use :new in a before row trigger

your syntax is valid, what isn't working about it?

what are you trying to do?

Instead of changing it, fix what isn't working.

This works for me:

drop table tab1 purge;
create table tab1(col1 char(1), col2 char(1));


create or replace trigger tab1_trig
before insert on tab1
for each row
begin
	:new.col2 := :new.col1;
end;
/

show errors

insert into tab1(col1) values('a');
commit;

select * from tab1;

Select allOpen in new window

It's something funky through our application. If I insert the record directly through the database the trigger works fine.

Inserting into a table with a trigger and not having the trigger fire is not a feature of a 'funky application'.  It is a pretty huge bug/hole in the database.

The trigger as written will work.  Something isn't right.  I would dig deeper.

if you have 2 columns that must always be equal, you might want to consider simply dropping the KATIMPC column and then recreating it as a virtual column.

Of course that will mean rearranging the order of columns in your table, so it might not be feasible.

Another option but a bit more cumbersome:  change the name of the table and create a view with the table's original name.  This will let you drop the physical column but recreate the logical column in its original position within the table.

This worked for me.

Shouldn't a split be in order since you changed your trigger based on my comment about updates?
