Hi,


If you run the following code snippet below the trigger on the table is invoked when a clumn is dropped which had been added after the table creation and has a default value and not null defined. This is behaviour I could only reproduce in Oracle 11.2.0.4.0 but not in 11.2.0.3.0. COuld somebody please help me with this? Is this expected behaviour? How can I drop the column without running the trigger?


CREATE TABLE T (

    DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(50)

);


INSERT INTO T (DESCRIPTION) VALUES ('asd');


COMMIT;


CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER BEFORE_T

  BEFORE INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE ON T

    REFERENCING OLD AS OLD NEW AS NEW

    FOR EACH ROW

BEGIN

    RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001, 'This trigger should not be invoked!');

END BF_TRANSACTIONS;

/

ALTER TABLE T ADD AMOUNT NUMBER DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL;


ALTER TABLE T DROP COLUMN AMOUNT;

    Hi,

    In 11.2.0.3, results:

    Table T creado.

1 fila insertadas.

Confirmación terminada.
Trigger BEFORE_T compilado

Table T alterado.

Table T alterado.

    No errors, but you mentioned that.

    What about using compound trigger:

    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER BEFORE_T
  for INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE ON T
  COMPOUND TRIGGER
  BEFORE EACH ROW
  IS
  BEGIN
    RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001, 'This trigger should not be invoked!');
END BEFORE EACH ROW;
END BEFORE_T;
/

    Regards,

    Juan M

    You have NOT shown that the trigger has been invoked Why not? Post an EXACT copy of your sql*plus session showing the actual execution of what you posted and the exception.

    If the trigger is firing that would be a bug.

    Search MOS to see if a bug has already been filed.

    If not submit an SR to Oracle.

    The ONLY workaround I'm aware of is to disable the trigger before the operation and then reenable it.

    No one on the forums can help you with Oracle bugs.

    You need to contact Oracle as I first said.
