As usually, reading documentation might help. This is the Coding Triggers chapter of Oracle 10g database.

It will be a before update trigger, containing a single line of code: raise_application_error.

Now it is your turn; study the documentation, create a trigger and come back to post a solution (if it is successful), or to ask another question; just make sure it is a question about a specific problem, not "general" one like this one (which sounds as if you wanted someone to write it for you).

And to add to Littlefoot's advice (which is all very good) spend some time analyzing exactly what it is you are trying to do, and why a trigger is the best way to accomplish it. The standard way to "unupdate" a table is to issue a rollback. Works 100% of the time. You are saying that a rollback will not work in your situation. Which suggests strongly that you have a situation where, if you don't know exactly what you are doing, you will really corrupt your database.

Why don't you grant only SELECT privs on that table to users?
