Re: selecting last inserted record in table

Actually my problem is that I have converted a large schema form a database named called cache. Now I should give abrief backgroud of cache that Cache is an object orientd database and it have stucture like clasees in C++ and Java that aa table can have superclass(super table ) now when that specific table is to be updated then ist all upper parent tables are also should be updated. Now it happens automatiacally in Cache. And application which is rinning on front end insert s a record in one derived table and tries to get that record form the base class of the derieved table. Upto my knowledge Oracle dose not support that kind of Object oriented schema.

So what I thought that a triiger is created on the derieved tables which activiated on insert, update and delete and take the insert , update and delete action on the base tables. So that is why i need to have the last inserted , updated and deleted record selected. So that I can make neccessary changes in the base tables.
Now I cannot make changes in the application code because it happens hundereds of time in the application code, so i have to change almost all the application code, so changing the application code is not feasible.
