Hello,:
  Thanks for your help. Now I understand that in oralce, in the middle of a statement executing , means "mutating", I can not read or write to the same table in the trigger.
 But still, my problems exists. And my condition is a little more complex .
 I was told to remove "for each row" from my trigger, but I have to include it because I have to access the :Old record. My trigger is like below:

 create or replace trigger aaa
 After Delete on ztable
 for each row
 DECLARE
         i integer;
 BEGIN

        select count(*) into i from ztable where c2=:old.c2;
         if i=0 then
              delete * from ztablenew where c2new=:old.c2;
           end if;

 END; How can I do about it?

Thanks.
