Hello Thomas,
When dynamic statement is not available for PL/SQL
is it posible to do something like this in trigger:
stmt =
   'DECLARE MYCURSOR CURSOR FOR ' ||
     'SELECT CASE WHEN OLD.' || colName || ' <> NEW.' ||
colName || ' THEN
0 ELSE 1 END ' ||
       'FROM ADMIN.DUAL';
EXECUTE stmt;
FETCH MYCURSOR INTO :result;

Or it is not aloved to use OLD.COLUMNNAME, NEW.COLUMNNAME in dynamic
statement at all ?

Thank you for response, Dusan


Yes and no !
First yes, you can create and execute the dynamic declare cursor
statement.
But you'll not able to compile the fetch statement, because the cursor
MYCURSOR must exist at compile time, which isn't true.

Besides, I don't understand the sense of that trigger. How is it
possible, that an update changes the
column names of the firing table, i.e. how can OLD.<column name> and
NEW.<column name> ever differ ?

Best Regards,
Thomas


Hello
I want to find out in UPDATE trigger if value of some column was changed or not.
I want to make some change list with information which column was changed.
So, maybe statement :
stmt = 'SELECT 1 FROM FROM ADMIN.DUAL WHERE OLD.' || colName || ' <> NEW.' || colName';
EXECUTE stmt;
IF $rc = 0 THEN
  INSERT INTO CHNGTABLE ('column' || colName || 'was changed');
will work ?
But this gives me an error "Table must be in from list".
Is it only syntax problem, or it is not possible to access old and new values in trigger dynamicly?


Regards, Dusan
