How to qualify variable inside trigger body (PL/SQL )?
Question
I can explicitly qualify variable in the body of stored procedure or function :
create or replace
PROCEDURE ptest AS
int_val INT;
BEGIN
ptest.int_val:=0;
END;
/
How to do the same inside trigger ?
create table temp1(id int not null);
create or replace trigger trg_before_insert_temp1 before insert on temp1 for each row
declare int_val int;
begin
trg_before_insert_temp1.int_val := 0; -- PLS-00201, identifier must be declared
end trg_before_insert_temp1;
/
Solution
Interesting question. As far as I can tell, this is not possible, though it seems like it should be. Unless someone else can show how it can be done, a workaround would be to nest the code in a block:
create or replace trigger trg_before_insert_temp1 before insert on temp1 for each row
declare
begin
<<bob>> declare
int_val int;
BEGIN
bob.int_val := 0;
END;
end trg_before_insert_temp1;
