SQL row modification constraint

Question

I have a table, containing log entries. Is it possible to impose on it a constraint, restricting all modifications of rows, but still allowing addition and deletion of rows? For example if I have:

ID| Time |     Issue      | Result
------------------------------------
3   10:30  heating broke    repaired

It should be impossible to change id, time, issue or result, but it should be possible to create new rows or to delete the row.

I am using Oracle.

Many thanks!

Answer 1

Check the documentation...

CREATE TRIGGER No_Updates_To_Table_X
BEFORE UPDATE ON Table_X
....

Or with permissions:

REVOKE UPDATE ON XXXX FROM YYYY ....

Answer 2

Though it's not good to assume, I'm going to on this; Oracle should allow you to create a user account with DELETE and CREATE permissions, but disallow UPDATE/ALTER. I would start with user-level permissions and go from there.
