Fix Oracle mutating trigger table errors Oracle DatabaseMutating Trigger With Example
Tips by Burleson Consulting A mutation table is defined as a table that is changing. But in dealing with triggers, it is a table that has the possibility

of changing. What this means to a trigger is that if the trigger reads a table, it can not change the table that it read from. This does not impact the exclusive use of :OLD and :NEW. It says that if the trigger reads the table (such as using a SELECT query), that changes (even using statement level trigger in oracle :NEW) will fail. This can also happen when a trigger on a parent table causes an insert on a child table referencing a foreign key. Mutating Tables Each new release of the Oracle database reduces the impact of the mutating table error on triggers and they are much less of a problem with Oracle9i and above. If a trigger does result in a mutating table error, the only real option is to rewrite the trigger as a statement-level trigger. Mutating table errors only impact row level triggers. But to use a statement level trigger, some data may need to be preserved from each row, to be used by the statement level trigger. This data can be stored in a PL/SQL collection or in a temporary table. A simple row level trigger that causes a mutating table error can result in a very complicated statement level trigger to achieve the needed result. Here are some important items to remember about triggers. On insert triggers have no :OLD val

Here is a typical example: you insert a row in table A a trigger on table A (for each row) executes a query on table A, for example to compute a summary column Oracle throws an ORA-04091: table A is mutating, trigger/function may not see it This is an expected and normal behaviour, Oracle wants to protect you from yourself since Oracle guarantees: (i) that each statement is atomic (i.e will either fail or succeed completely) (ii) that each statement sees a consistent view of the data Most likely when you write this kind of trigger you would expect the que

Was this answer useful?Yes 1 Reply manikandan Dec 8th, 2006 if the trigger attempts to select or modify the table while the trigger has not completed (ie. table is in transition). then mutating trigger error occurs.because the table is in middle of a transaction so it causes the trigger to mutate.you can change the trigger to statement level and apply the logic there.
