Re: Execute trigger on current row

Ever heard of using :new and :old in a trigger? This is always done by simply using
:new.created = sysdate;
in the trigger code, and definitely not by an update statement, which is also not going to work because of ora-4091. I strongly recommend to you reading Oracle provided documentation.
