Hello everyone! I am very happy to see there are lots of pple here!! I am actually trying to build a trigger, but it's invalid.
Im 99% sure about the select part, seems like I got a problem with some ;
Sad

here is what I did up to now, if anybody could help me, this would be really nice! thanks

------------------------------
CREATE TRIGGER TRIGVENTES
BEFORE UPDATE OR INSERT ON VENTE
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
resultat number;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO resultat
FROM VENTE V, CROISIERE CR, VOYAGE VO, NAVIRE N, CABINE CA
WHERE V.CODE_CROISIERE = CR.CODE_CROISIERE
AND CR.CODE_VOYAGE = VO.CODE_VOYAGE
AND VO.NO_NAVIRE = N.NO_NAVIRE
AND N.NO_NAVIRE = CA.NO_NAVIRE
AND V.CODE_CROISIERE = :NEW.CODE_CROISIERE
AND V.NO_CABINE = :NEW.NO_CABINE;
IF (resultat := 0)
THEN raise_application_error(-20001, 'NO_CABINE APPARTIENT PAS AU NAVIRE');
END IF;
END ;

Since you decided not to tell us what the error was, I'll use my super-spidey-senses to work it out for myself.

HHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM??????????

Got it! You got a Mutating Table error, right?

A FOR EACH ROW trigger cannot access the table that it is firing on. Take VENTE out of the SQL and replace the V.<> columns in the SQL with :NEW.<>

:= is used for assigning values and = is used for comparing values, so "if (resultat := 0)" should be "if resultat = 0". That may allow it to compile, but you will still have a problem using it, because you are selecting from the same table that the trigger is on from within the trigger, so you are likely to get a mutating error. If you can select from the other tables without selecting from the vente table that might work. Perhaps if you could describe what you are trying to accomplish, it would make it easier to help. Please read our forum guideline for suggestions on how to post questions.

My answer would have been funnier if it had been right. Mad

hi there again, thanks for replying.
I read the rules, but still looking to see how i can post in SQLplus version. I'm using aqua data studio, if anybody knows...

in fact, this trigger is <supposed> to check if somebody wants to update or insert in vente) in the "cabine" table if there is a NO_CABINE associated with the particular NO_NAVIRE
there is the DSD:

http://armstrong.hec.ca:8080/275004/A01/etud0051/untitled.JPG

and (sorry for the format) these are the errors produced (I have already changed deht := for = in the If statement)
:

Like I said you need to not select from the vente table. To do that, you can do like Ross said and remove vente from the select statement and replace each "v." with ":new." as shown below. There seems to be some conflict in between your diagram and code as to the underscores in the column names, so check those.

SELECT COUNT(*) 
INTO   resultat
FROM   CROISIERE CR, VOYAGE VO, NAVIRE N, CABINE CA
WHERE  :NEW.CODE_CROISIERE = CR.CODE_CROISIERE
AND    CR.CODE_VOYAGE = VO.CODE_VOYAGE
AND    VO.NO_NAVIRE = N.NO_NAVIRE
AND    N.NO_NAVIRE = CA.NO_NAVIRE
AND    CA.NO_CABINE = :NEW.NO_CABINE;

Do you get the error when you try to compile the trigger or when you try to do an insert or update or delete? Did you check whether all of the underscores in the column names belong there or not? It is really hard to guess what is wrong without seeing a copy and paste of compilation and error message with line numbers from SQL*Plus and create table statements. At least copy and paste your current complete trigger code. It could be something as simple as a missing punctuation mark somewhere.

I am repeating myself here, because you have not provided answers. Do you get these errors when you compile the trigger or when you try to insert or update or delete? Did you check the underscores? Can you provide create table statements or at least do a describe to list the table structure? If the errors come from an insert, then provide the insert.

Here is an example for you, using the emp and dept demo tables, showing descriptions of the tables, compilation of the trigger, test of valid insert, and test of invalid insert, all from SQL*Plus. Perhaps you can compare this to what you are trying to do.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> DESCRIBE emp
