28. 2. 3. Creating a Trigger

You create a trigger using the CREATE TRIGGER statement.

The simplified syntax for the CREATE TRIGGER statement is as follows:

CREATE [OR REPLACETRIGGER trigger_name
{BEFORE | AFTER | INSTEAD OFtrigger_event
ON table_name
[FOR EACH ROW [WHEN trigger_condition]]
BEGIN
  trigger_body
END trigger_name;

where

  1. OR REPLACE specifies the trigger is to replace an existing trigger if present.
  2. BEFORE specifies the trigger fires before the triggering event is performed.
  3. AFTER specifies the trigger fires after the triggering event is performed.
  4. INSTEAD OF specifies the trigger fires instead of performing the triggering event.
  5. trigger_event specifies the event that causes the trigger to fire.
  6. table_name specifies the table that the trigger references.
  7. FOR EACH ROW specifies the trigger is a row-level trigger.
  8. A row-level trigger is run for each row when the trigger fires.
  9. If you omit FOR EACH ROW, the trigger is a statement-level trigger.
  10. A statement-level trigger is run once when the trigger fires regardless of the number of rows affected.
  11. trigger_condition specifies a Boolean condition that limits when a trigger actually runs its code.
  12. trigger_body contains the SQL and PL/SQL statements that perform the trigger's task.
