Trigger - Data from Multiple table

[Reshmi Jacob]

Hi all

I have a table ,say SUMMARY. I need to write a trigger in such a way that in another table ,say TRN, when an INSERT occurs I need to insert some data from fields of TRN and its child table TRNCHILD should go to summary.

If it was only from one table , I can write ...

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRG_TRN
AFTER INSERT ON TRN
FOR EACH ROW

BEGIN
If INSERTING Then
INSERT INTO SUMMARY(a,b,c) VALUES(:NEW.ValA,:NEW.ValB,:NEW.ValC);
END IF;
END

My Question is if ValC is from TRNCHILD, which has a link with TRN, how can I get this data????

Regards

in that case u have to etch that value through that link from TRNCHILD table into a local variable and then use that variable in place of :NEW.Valc .

If child table data is committed or inserting in the childtable happens in the same transaction, then there is no problem. Do as Suvam has suggested you.

But if insertion in Child table happens in another session and not commited, you can not see the data. So, you have to design the application accordingly.
