Re: Simple Trigger Question

Sybrand

My appolgies but I'm not sure if you are stating something or asking a question.

I assume you comment means that my check (:New.ImageUrl <> :Old.ImageUrl) is not passing becuase the ":Old.ImageUrl" value is null.

If this is the case, do I solve this problem by using the "NVL" function (IE: (NVL(:New.ImageUrl,'') <> NVL(:New.ImageUrl,''))?

If not could you please recomend the correct solution?

Thank You
Lee
