    Hi,

    I have two tables: table1 and table2, and i want to create a trigger like:
    create or replace trigger trig_1
    after insert on table1
    ....
    update table2 set col1 = ....(based on sum(col2 of table1))
    ....
    Within this trigger i want to update table2. This update is based on column1 in table1(basically on summation of column1 for table1), if i do "select sum(col1) from table1" ---- they must be mutating, please help.

    BTW, there is not foreign key relationship and the col1 in table2, col2 in table1 are not keys in both tables.

    Thanks

    Hi !

    Use a trigger which ist not firing 'for each row', but for each statement:
    --------------cut here-------------------
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER test
    AFTER INSERT
    ON table1
    declare
    v_sum number;

    Begin
    select sum(something)
    into v_sum
    from table1;

    UPDATE table2
    SET sum1 = v_sum;
    End;
    /
    --------------cut here-------------------
    I tested it, it's working fine.

    Basically, i create variables in my package, then create a trigger "before insert on table1 for each row", store the key in one of the variables created in my package;create second trigger "before insert on table1" statement level, select(sum) the column i wanted based on the variable i stored formly, store the summation to another variable in the package; last, create trigger "after insert on table1 for each row" and do whatever you want based on the infos stroed in the variables in the package.

    Hope i'm clear,

    Take care
