VALUES (USER, SYSDATE);
COMMIT;
END;
Mark for Review
(1) Points
A DML trigger cannot itself contain a DML statement such as INSERT INTO audit_table.
You cannot use COMMIT inside a trigger. (*)
The last line of code should be END mytrigg;

The second line should be: AFTER DELETE OF DEPARTMENTS
Nothing is wrong, the trigger will execute successfully.

5. We want to prevent employees from being deleted on Sundays. To do this, we

create the following trigger:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER stop_del_emps
....... DELETE ON employees -- Line A
BEGIN
IF TO_CHAR(SYSDATE','DY') = 'SUN' THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20101,'Invalid delete');
END IF;
END;
Should this be a BEFORE or AFTER trigger, and why?
Mark for Review
(1) Points
It should be a BEFORE trigger because if an AFTER trigger were created, the employee would
already have been deleted by the time the trigger checks the date. (*)
It should be a BEFORE trigger because you cannot use RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR with AFTER
triggers.
It should be an AFTER trigger because the Oracle Server cannot fire the trigger until it knows
that the employee has been deleted.
It does not matter, either a BEFORE or an AFTER trigger could be created.
6. An AFTER UPDATE trigger can specify more than one column. True or False?
Mark for Review
(1) Points
True (*)
False
7. A BEFORE statement trigger inserts a row into a logging table every time a user
updates the salary column of the employees table. The user now tries to update the salaries of three
employees with a single UPDATE statement, but the update fails because it violates a check constraint.
How many rows will be inserted into the logging table? Mark for Review

None, the transactions are rolled back because the update failed. (*)
One
Three
Four
None of the above
8. There are five employees in department 50. A statement trigger is created by:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER emp_upd_trigg
AFTER DELETE ON EMPLOYEES
BEGIN ...
A user now executes:
DELETE FROM employees WHERE department_id = 50;

How many times will the trigger fire, and when?
Mark for Review
(1) Points
Once, before the DELETE is executed
Five times, after each employee row is deleted
Once, after the DELETE is executed (*)
Six times, once after each row and once at the end of the statement
The trigger will not fire at all.
1. You decide to create the following trigger:

2. Which of the following best describes conditional predicates in a trigger?
Mark for Review
(1) Points
They are special variables which must be DECLAREd within the trigger.
They allow the trigger code to see what data values are being inserted into a row.
They are automatically declared boolean variables which allow the trigger body to detect which
DML operation is being executed. (*)
They are special cursor attributes, like %ROWCOUNT and %NOTFOUND
3. Examine the following code. To create a row trigger, what code should be
included at Line A?
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER del_emp_trigg
BEFORE DELETE ON employees

6. What is the benefit of using the CALL statement in a trigger body? Mark
for Review
(1) Points
It allow both DDL events and database events to be handled by a single trigger.
It prevents data being read from a mutating table.
It allows the database administrator to monitor who is currently connected to the database.
It allows the trigger body code to be placed in a separate procedure. (*)

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER call_trigg
AFTER UPDATE OR DELETE ON employees
BEGIN
CALL del_emp_proc
END;
Mark for Review
(1) Points
When CALL is used, the BEGIN and END; statements should be omitted. (*)
The CALL statement should end with a semicolon (;)
You cannot use a CALL statement in a DML trigger.
When using CALL, only one DML statement can be tested, so UPDATE OR DELETE is wrong.
[Correct] Correct
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER emp_dml_trigg
BEFORE UPDATE OF salary ON employees
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
v_max_sal employees.salary%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT max(sal) INTO v_max_sal FROM employees;
END;
Mark for Review
(1) Points
You cannot use a DECLARE statement in a trigger.
The trigger body is reading the same table (employees) that the triggering event is updating. (*)
You must use RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR in a BEFORE trigger.
You can never use SELECT inside a DML trigger.
Nothing is wrong, the trigger will execute correctly.

6. What is the benefit of using the CALL statement in a trigger body? Mark
for Review
(1) Points
It allow both DDL events and database events to be handled by a single trigger.
It prevents data being read from a mutating table.
It allows the database administrator to monitor who is currently connected to the database.
It allows the trigger body code to be placed in a separate procedure. (*)
[Correct] Correct
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER call_trigg
AFTER UPDATE OR DELETE ON employees
BEGIN
CALL del_emp_proc
END;
Mark for Review
(1) Points
When CALL is used, the BEGIN and END; statements should be omitted. (*)
The CALL statement should end with a semicolon (;)
You cannot use a CALL statement in a DML trigger.

When using CALL, only one DML statement can be tested, so UPDATE OR DELETE is wrong.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER emp_dml_trigg
BEFORE UPDATE OF salary ON employees
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
v_max_sal employees.salary%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT max(sal) INTO v_max_sal FROM employees;
END;
Mark for Review
(1) Points
You cannot use a DECLARE statement in a trigger.
The trigger body is reading the same table (employees) that the triggering event is updating. (*)
