Re: Are Triggers Really that Bad or ....???

Hi,
Thanks a lot chr(10) works great.

But now how do i set the linesize.
If I leave it default it goes to the next line after the 80th column and then it does not compile properly.

If I set it to 1000 then its too big.

Is there a way to handle this.

This is my statement

select 'Create or replace Trigger '||table_name||'_Trigger BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON '||
table_name||' for each row BEGIN IF inserting THEN :NEW.created_date:=sysdate; :NEW.created_by:=user; END IF; If Updating then :NEW.updated_date:=sysdate; :NEW.updated_by:=user; end if; END;'||chr(10)||'/'
from dba_tab_columns where column_name='CREATED_DATE'

Thanks
Ronnie
