Hi,

I need to automate the trigger code when ever the dependent Table structure altered.

Example
If my table is having 6 columns like

empno,ename,job,Hiredate,sal,comm

In the Audit trigger it is inserting like
after update on emp
insert into emp_audit(empno,ename,job,hiredate,sal,comm) values(:old.empno,:old.ename,:old.job,:old.Hiredate,:old.sal,:old.comm)

After a while we Altered the emp table by Adding two more columns
now the Audit Trigger should insert like

insert into emp_audit(empno,ename,job,hiredate,sal,comm,deptno,Address) values(:old.empno,:old.ename,:old.job,:old.Hiredate,:old.sal,:old.comm,:old.deptno,:old.Address)

Here my concern is i don't want to edit the trigger mnually..

I am trying to achive with

re-creating the trigger with Dynamic sql based on the user_tab_columns..

please give me assistance to achive the above requirement...

Thanks
Lakshman

Write a trigger to re-write desired triggers after DDL changes.

How often do you add columns to your datamodel? This should not be a regular thing, so rewriting the audit-trigger should be far less work than creating a complete framework to keep them up-to-date.
Automation is good, being lazy is not.
Adding a column to a table means you have to do an impact analysis on your complete code-base to see what else needs to be changed. Well, this single trigger is one of them. The audit table is another.

You didn't read carefully the link.
Try again and explain why it does not give you or lead you to a solution.
