Why not simply a Before Delete trigger that copies the row about to be deleted over to a duplicate table. This way you can know exactly what the data was before it was deleted. Of course, if you only care about a certain field or group of fields you can always just copy those fields instead of all fields.
-----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 4:18 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L We need to be able to track what records have been deleted from a table. Our current thinking is 1. A "before delete" trigger, that stores a unique ID of the all the data in the table. 2. A "after delete" trigger, which gets the records left in the table. 3. Subtract the two lists to find the records that have been deleted. This appears to be cumbersome, is there anyway to do this with one trigger ?
