You don't commit inside a trigger.

In triggers we dont use any transactional control statements.

commit,rollback will not work in triggers.

There are cases when committing in a trigger is justified. For example, error logging is one of these cases. Scenario: user performs an illegal operation which is to be rolled back. Autonomous transaction trigger will save (commit) error information into the error log table, whilst the main transaction data is rolled back.

Here's an example (a screenshot, to emphasize different sessions):

Technically, the question is whether the commit is still 'in the trigger', as you start a new autonomous transaction.

btw, your password is showing in the screenshots (title-bar)
