Description When you encounter an ORA-04091 error, the following error message will appear: ORA-04091: table name is mutating, trigger/function may not see it Cause A statement executed a trigger or custom PL/SQL function. That trigger/function tried
Oracle Statement Level Trigger
to modify or query a table that is currently being modified by the statement that fired the trigger/function. Resolution The option(s) to resolve this Oracle error are: Option #1 Re-write the trigger/function so that it does not try to modify/query the table in question. For example, if you've created a trigger against the table called orders and then the trigger performed a SELECT against the orders table as follows: CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER orders_after_insert AFTER INSERT ON orders FOR EACH ROW DECLARE v_quantity number; BEGIN SELECT quantity INTO v_quantity FROM orders WHERE order_id = 1; END; You would receive an error message as follows: When you create a trigger against a table, you can't modify/query that table until the trigger/function has completed. Remember that you can always use the :NEW and :OLD values within the trigger, depending on the type of trigger. Learn more about Triggers.

- 8:40 pm UTC Category: SQL*Plus – Version: 8.1.7 Latest Followup You Asked hello, i've got a table MRC and a trigger on it (AFTER INSERT) thus, after an insert in the table MRC, this trigger has to determine if a new line must be inserted into
Oracle Mutating Trigger Pragma Autonomous Transaction
an other table PLAN : for that, it does compare the :new values with the MOST mutating trigger in oracle 11g RECENT enregistrement of MRC but i got a mutating table error i understand the problem but how can i get over ?? thanks Arnaud and oracle instead of trigger we said... My personal opinion -- when I hit a mutating table error, I've got a serious fatal flaw in my logic. Have you considered the multi-user implications in your logic? Two people inserting at the same time (about the https://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/errors/ora04091.php same time). What happens then??? Neither will see eachothers work, neither will block -- both will think "ah hah, I am first"... anyway, you can do too much work in triggers, this may well be that time -- there is nothing wrong with doing things in a more straightforward fashion (eg: using a stored procedure to implement your transaction) but if you persist, you can use the technique: http://asktom.oracle.com/~tkyte/Mutate/index.html to avoid the mutating table constraint -- but I https://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0%3A%3A%3A%3AP11_QUESTION_ID:9579487119866 would avoid the situation that gets me there in the first place. The logic is a whole lot more understandable that way (and maintainable and testable and everything) Reviews Write a Review Ora-4091 May 05, 2003 - 5:45 pm UTC Reviewer: A reader We create trigger in the test server (8i) its working without error, and when we created at life (8) we get the following error: ORA-04091: table XXXX is mutating, trigger/function may not see it. Followup May 05, 2003 - 8:31 pm UTC they relaxed some of the constraining rules between 8.0 and 8.1 -- things are in general upwards (develop in 8.0 and goto 8.1) compatible but not backwards. Why I can't get the 4091 error when insert? January 05, 2004 - 3:39 am UTC Reviewer: Li ys from CHINA I only want to prove the mutating table by this triggers: CREATE TABLE r_Module ( Bureauno NUMBER(3), Moduleno NUMBER(3), primary key ( Bureauno, Moduleno ) ); CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER LimitTest BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON r_Module FOR EACH ROW DECLARE v_MaxModuleNum CONSTANT NUMBER := 5; v_CurModuleNum NUMBER; BEGIN SELECT COUNT(*) INTO v_CurModuleNum FROM r_Module WHERE Bureauno = :new.Bureauno; IF v_CurModuleNum + 1 > v_MaxModuleNum THEN RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000,'Too many Module in the Bureauno:'||:new.Bureauno); END IF; END; / When I insert some record into r_module table,I can't get the 4091 error,but when I update one, the error come. I wonder if the insert can't lead the mutating table

An old query was recently put into production which throws a mutating table error. Our DBA solved the problem but we do not know how. What exactly causes mutating table errors and how would our DBA have fixed the problem? sql oracle trigger plsql share|improve this question mutating trigger in edited Jun 25 '15 at 17:56 Mahi_0707 1033 asked Sep 6 '11 at 8:46 parmanand 107238 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 13 down vote accepted The most likely cause of a mutating table error is the misuse of triggers. 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 query (2) to see the row inserted on (1). This would be in contradiction with both points above since the update is not finished yet (there could be more rows to be inserted). Oracle could return the result consistent with a point in time just before the beginning of the statement but from most of the examples I have seen that try to implement this logic, people see a multi-row statement as a serie of successive steps and expect the statement [2] to see the changes mad
