Is there a similar feature in Oracle 11G as in Mysql..

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17952_01/refman-5.6-en/timestamp-initialization.html


CREATE TABLE t1 (
ts TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
dt DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

My goal is to update a particular column to its current_timestamp whenever there is a update on the rows without using on update trigger.

Thanks !

No. You either use a trigger or modify all update statements to set those columns.

default is ONLY used for inserts. You need to use a trigger
