How can I get the table name in a Oracle trigger function? - sql

How can I get the table name inside trigger function?
Something similar to TG_TABLE_NAME in Postgres, like this
Oracle 10g or above.

That's user_triggers view (if I understood the question correctly).
SQL> create table test (id number, name varchar2(20));
Table created.
SQL> create or replace trigger trg_test
2 before insert on test
3 for each row
4 begin
5 null;
6 end;
7 /
Trigger created.
SQL> select trigger_name, table_name from user_triggers;
TRIGGER_NAME TABLE_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
TRG_TEST TEST --> this is the one I've just created
TRG_AIUD_EMP EMPLOYEES

Disable trigger in another db(Oracle)

Can I create a procedure that disables a trigger in another database? I mean, can I disable it with a database link?
I need it for importing data into a data warehouse
Yes, you can do that. Here's how.
In a remote database (called ORCL), I'm creating a table and a trigger:
SQL> create table test (id number);
Table created.
SQL> create or replace trigger trg_test
2 before insert on test
3 for each row
4 begin
5 null;
6 end;
7 /
Trigger created.
Furthermore, in the same (remote) database, I'm creating a procedure which will disable that trigger. It'll use dynamic SQL as you can't execute DDL in PL/SQL just like that:
SQL> create or replace procedure p_disable_trg_test as
2 begin
3 execute immediate 'alter trigger trg_test disable';
4 end;
5 /
Procedure created.
Now, in a local database, I'm creating a database link to the ORCL database:
SQL> create database link dbl_scott_orcl
2 connect to scott
3 identified by tiger
4 using 'orcl';
Database link created.
Does it work?
SQL> select * from dual#dbl_scott_orcl;
D
-
X
Yes, it does. Fine. Now, all you have to do is to call the remote procedure from the local database:
SQL> begin
2 p_disable_trg_test#dbl_scott_orcl;
3 end;
4 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL>
Let's check the remote database's trigger status:
SQL> select trigger_name, status from user_Triggers where trigger_name = 'TRG_TEST';
TRIGGER_NAME STATUS
------------------------------ --------
TRG_TEST DISABLED
SQL>
DISABLED, as expected.

How I do create column ID with value JASG1?
I am only find example like this :
select 'JASG'||to_char(mtj_id_seq.nextval) from talend_job
Although what you wrote probably works (if there's a sequence named MTJ_ID_SEQ, you have a privilege to select from it; the same goes for the TALEND_JOB table), I'd say that it isn't what you should use.
Here's why: I'll create a table and a sequence. Table will be pre-populated with some IDs (just to put something in there).
SQL> create sequence mtj_id_seq;
Sequence created.
SQL> create table talend_job as
2 select rownum id from dept;
Table created.
SQL> select * from talend_job;
ID
----------
1
2
3
4
OK; 4 rows so far. Now, run your SELECT:
SQL> select 'JASG'||to_char(mtj_id_seq.nextval) from talend_job;
'JASG'||TO_CHAR(MTJ_ID_SEQ.NEXTVAL)
--------------------------------------------
JASG1
JASG2
JASG3
JASG4
SQL> select 'JASG'||to_char(mtj_id_seq.nextval) from talend_job;
'JASG'||TO_CHAR(MTJ_ID_SEQ.NEXTVAL)
--------------------------------------------
JASG5
JASG6
JASG7
JASG8
SQL>
See? You didn't get only 1 JASGx value, but as many as number of rows in the TALEND_JOB table. If there was a million rows, you'd get a million JASGx rows as well.
Therefore, maybe you meant to use DUAL table instead? E.g.
SQL> select 'JASG'||to_char(mtj_id_seq.nextval) from dual;
'JASG'||TO_CHAR(MTJ_ID_SEQ.NEXTVAL)
--------------------------------------------
JASG9
SQL> select 'JASG'||to_char(mtj_id_seq.nextval) from dual;
'JASG'||TO_CHAR(MTJ_ID_SEQ.NEXTVAL)
--------------------------------------------
JASG10
SQL>
See? Only one value.
Also, notice that sequences will provide unique values, but you can't rely on them being gapless.
As you mentioned "how to create column ID" - one option is to use a trigger. Here's an example:
SQL> create table talend_job (id varchar2(20), name varchar2(20)
Table created.
SQL> create or replace trigger trg_bi_tj
2 before insert on talend_job
3 for each row
4 begin
5 :new.id := 'JASG' || mtj_id_seq.nextval;
6 end;
7 /
Trigger created.
Let's insert some names; IDs should be auto-populated by the trigger:
SQL> insert into talend_job (name) values ('littlefoot');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into talend_job (name) values ('Ishak');
1 row created.
SQL> select * From talend_job;
ID NAME
-------------------- --------------------
JASG11 littlefoot
JASG12 Ishak
SQL>
OK then; now you have some more info - read and think about it.
By the way, what is the "compiler-errors" tag used for? Did you write any code and it failed? Perhaps you'd want to share it with us.

Select records from table where table name come from another table

We generate tables dynamically Eg. Table T_1, T_2, T_3, etc & we can get that table names from another table by following query.
SELECT CONCAT('T_', T_ID) AS T_NAME FROM T_NAMES WHERE T_KEY = 'ABC';
Now I want to get records from this retrieved table name. What can I do ?
I'm doing like following but that's not working :
SELECT * FROM (SELECT CONCAT('T_', T_ID) AS T_NAME FROM T_NAMES WHERE T_KEY = 'ABC')
FYI : I'm hitting two individual queries as of now though I want to eliminate one and I can not follow cursor/procedure approach due to some limitations.
A procedure which utilizes refcursor seems to be the most appropriate to me. Here's an example:
SQL> -- creating test case (your T_NAMES table and T_1 which looks like Scott's DEPT)
SQL> create table t_names (t_id number, t_key varchar2(3));
Table created.
SQL> insert into t_names values (1, 'ABC');
1 row created.
SQL> create table t_1 as select * from dept;
Table created.
SQL> -- a procedure; accepts KEY and returns refcursor
SQL> create or replace procedure p_test
2 (par_key in varchar2, par_out out sys_refcursor)
3 as
4 l_t_name varchar2(30);
5 begin
6 select 'T_' || t_id
7 into l_t_name
8 from t_names
9 where t_key = par_key;
10
11 open par_out for 'select * from ' || l_t_name;
12 end;
13 /
Procedure created.
OK, let's test it:
SQL> var l_out refcursor
SQL> exec p_test('ABC', :l_out)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> print l_out
DEPTNO DNAME LOC
---------- -------------- -------------
10 ACCOUNTING NEW YORK
20 RESEARCH DALLAS

I could propose to you Dynamic SQL.
First of all, you need to create a cursor. The cursor will iterate by the dynamic tables. Then you could use dynamic SQL to create a query and then execute it.
So example:
https://livesql.oracle.com/apex/livesql/file/content_C81136WLRFYZF8ION6Q57GWE1.html - detailed cursor example.

IF Statement inside Trigger Clause

I want to use an if statement inside trigger but the value if comparison will come from an other select statement.
I have done the following:
create or replace
Trigger MYTRIGGER
After Insert On Table1
Referencing Old As "OLD" New As "NEW"
For Each Row
Begin
Declare Counter Int;
Select Count(*) From Table2 Where Table2."Email" = :New.U_MAIL Into Counter;
IF Counter < 1 THEN
//INSERT Statement here...
END IF;
End;
My logic is simple, if same email user exists, insert will not work.
Above code did not work. How can we do this?
A few syntax errors. Would be closer to something like this:
create or replace
Trigger MYTRIGGER
After Insert On Table1
Referencing Old As "OLD" New As "NEW"
For Each Row
DECLARE
v_count NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*)
INTO v_count
FROM Table2
WHERE Email = :New.U_MAIL
;
IF v_count > 0
THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000, 'Not inserted...');
END IF;
END;
Your approach is wrong. Referential integrity should not be made using triggers, it just cannot work as required. See example:
Connected to Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.2.0
Connected as test#soft12c1
SQL> create table mail_1 (email varchar2(100));
Table created
SQL> create table mail_2 (email varchar2(100));
Table created
SQL> create trigger mail_1_check
2 before insert on mail_1
3 for each row
4 declare
5 cnt integer;
6 begin
7 select count(*) into cnt from mail_2 where email = :new.email;
8 if cnt > 0 then
9 raise_application_error(-20100, 'Email already exists');
10 end if;
11 end;
12 /
Trigger created
SQL> insert into mail_2 values ('president#gov.us');
1 row inserted
SQL> insert into mail_1 values ('king#kingdom.en');
1 row inserted
SQL> insert into mail_1 values ('president#gov.us');
ORA-20100: Email already exists
ORA-06512: at "TEST.MAIL_1_CHECK", line 6
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'TEST.MAIL_1_CHECK'
It looks like trigger works right, but it's not true. See what happens when several users will works simultaneously.
-- First user in his session
SQL> insert into mail_2 values ('dictator#country.by');
1 row inserted
-- Second user in his session
SQL> insert into mail_1 values ('dictator#country.by');
1 row inserted
-- First user is his session
SQL> commit;
Commit complete
-- Second user is his session
SQL> commit;
Commit complete
-- Any user in any session
SQL> select * from mail_1 natural join mail_2;
EMAIL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dictator#country.by
If using triggers for this task, you should serialize any attempts to use this data, say, execute LOCK TABLE IN EXCLUSIVE MODE unless commit. Generally it's a bad decision. For this concrete task you can use much better approach:
Connected to Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.2.0
Connected as test#soft12c1
SQL> create table mail_1_2nd(email varchar2(100));
Table created
SQL> create table mail_2_2nd(email varchar2(100));
Table created
SQL> create materialized view mail_check
2 refresh complete on commit
3 as
4 select 1/0 data from mail_1_2nd natural join mail_2_2nd;
Materialized view created
OK. Let's see, what if we try to use same email:
-- First user in his session
SQL> insert into mail_1_2nd values ('dictator#gov.us');
1 row inserted
-- Second user in his session
SQL> insert into mail_2_2nd values ('dictator#gov.us');
1 row inserted
SQL> commit;
Commit complete
-- First user in his session
SQL> commit;
ORA-12008: error in materialized view refresh path
ORA-01476: divisor is equal to zero
SQL> select * from mail_1_2nd natural join mail_2_2nd;

Oracle 9i auto increment trigger/sequence doesnt work

The following SQL, upon being executed on an Oracle 9i server, yields the the error " ORA-04098: trigger 'DBO.WTF_TRIGGER' is invalid and failed re-validation".
DROP TABLE "DBO".WTF;
CREATE TABLE "DBO".WTF
(id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR2(30));
CREATE SEQUENCE "DBO".WTF_sequence
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "DBO".WTF_trigger
BEFORE INSERT
ON "DBO".WTF
REFERENCING NEW AS NEW
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SELECT "DBO".WTF_sequence.nextval INTO :NEW.id FROM dual;
END;
INSERT INTO "DBO".WTF (name) VALUES ('asd');
Any ideas?
As APC points out, it would be helpful to do a SHOW ERRORS in SQL*Plus to print out the errors. The code you posted works perfectly for me if I create a DBO user with appropriate privileges.
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> create user dbo identified by dbo;
User created.
SQL> grant connect, resource, unlimited tablespace to dbo;
Grant succeeded.
