I want to create after-update/after-insert triggers that will update a column in the same table.

I get the following error:

ORA-04091: table ARI.CONN_BILLING_MOMENT is mutating, trigger/function may not see it
ORA-06512: at "ARI.TRG_BMT_AUR", line 12
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'ARI.TRG_BMT_AUR'
-------------------------------------------------------
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trg_bmt_aur after
update on conn_billing_moment for each row

declare
lBillingMoment number;
begin
if to_number(substr(:new.reading_moment,1,2)) > 15
then lBillingMoment := to_number(substr(:new.reading_moment,1,2)) + 1;
else lBillingMoment := to_number(substr(:new.reading_moment,1,2));
end if;
--
update conn_billing_moment
set billing_moment = lBillingMoment
where id = :new.id; -- :new.id doesn't work either
end;

ORA-04091: table %s.%s is mutating, trigger/function may not see it
 *Cause: A trigger (or a user defined plsql function that is referenced in
         this statement) attempted to look at (or modify) a table that was
         in the middle of being modified by the statement which fired it.
 *Action: Rewrite the trigger (or function) so it does not read that table.


Please read and follow OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
Always post your Oracle version (4 decimals).

Please search a little bit BEFORE posting, this is the most common error on trigger.

Michel

Since you are only using columns from the record that is being inserted or updated, there is no need for an explicit update.
If you change the timing to "before", you can just do :new.billing_moment := lBillingMoment;
instead of the update

Only when id should happen to be the primary key (or unique key for that matter) of the table.

(chances are it is Wink )

Thanks, that's exactly what I did.
I have moved the 'update' to the before-insert/before-update triggers where I can refer to the ':new' values..

- Is your trigger working now?

- What's the primary key of the conn_billing_moment table?

- How many rows can/will be update each time within the trigger?

The last question is somehow related to the second question
