Re: Using ":new" and ":old" in PL/SQL (Triggers)

Two comments:



    
  
  1.   The :new and :old variables cannot be dynamically defined.

  
  2.   Getting column names from a table every time the trigger fires seems
to be an unnecessary overhead that has the potential to severely affect
performance.  I don't recommend this approach.  It is much more
efficient to specifically name each column in the trigger logic.






Regards,


Mike
