I have to start off by saying I am new to triggers so please bare with me. I have written a trigger that acts as an auto-numbering system similar to the auto number of access. What I am trying to do now is append the letters 'SSCA-' to the beginning of my generated number. Below is the code I am using, can some take a look and tell me if I am on the right track. Since I have added the text to append to the auto number I am generating errors when I create the trigger.
Working trigger:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER MY_TEST_TRG
BEFORE INSERT on Company_reg
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SELECT TEST_SEQ2.NEXTVAL
INTO :NEW.Company_Id;
END MY_TEST_TRG;
/
New trigger that doesn't work:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER MY_TEST_TRG
BEFORE INSERT on Company_reg
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
Temp Varchar2(30);
BEGIN
Temp = SELECT TEST_SEQ2.NEXTVAL
Temp = 'SSCA-' & Temp
INSERT INTO Company_Reg (Company_Id) Values (Temp);
END MY_TEST_TRG;
/
My sequence that generates the auto number is as follows: CREATE SEQUENCE TEST_SEQ2 start with 0001 increment by 1 minvalue 0001;
Any help that can be given will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks
Jeff
