Triggers in Oracle from Pluralsight

In this course, we will explore, in-depth, the DML and System triggers available with Oracle. We will discuss the use cases and guidance for trigger usage.

In this course, we will talk extensively about

. Triggers help us centralize table validations at the lowest level along with providing support for auditing and logging.

We will take an in-depth look at how to define:

Oracle triggers let you create procedures that are automatically executed when a specific action or event occurs. So if an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement is issued against a specific table, it will trigger a certain other procedure to be executed.

There are 5 different types of Oracle triggers:

You will learn:

The only prerequisite for this course is to have some basic Oracle PL/SQL knowledge. Check out this course if you want a refresher, or if you still need to learn

This course is for anyone who wants to learn how to set up triggers in Oracle; both DML triggers and system triggers. If you are an Oracle programmer, you will definitely find this course beneficial.
