1. Even if i enter raghu or Raghu it should get stored as
RAGHU. How to write database trigger for storing upper(new.xxx)

2. I have one table Product where columns are as follows:

Product_code varchar2(3)
Product_qty n(10,3)
Product_price n(10,3)
Product_val n(10,3)

I wrote database trigger for storing the product_val as
product_qty * product_price. No error and enabled. It does not getting executed when i try to enter qty and price alone while inserting and as well as updating.

1. What about showing us what you tried?
2. What about showing us what you tried?

Before, please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.

Isn't it obvious? If you want to store characters in UPPER case, which Oracle function will you use?

As of the second question: what kind of a trigger is it? Did you commit the changes in order to make them visible to another session(s) (if that's how you are testing it)? Whichever it is, it seems that you'll have to share the code with us.

dear sir/madam/wizards,

for example
I have table name as emp
where id number primary key
emp_no number (5,0)
emp_name varchar2(50)

I create a page (data entry form) using Apex 3.0
Even if enter small characters (lower case) it should get stored
as upper characters. I need not on insist the user to effect
caps loack on.

I was confident that it can be tackled through database trigger
using before insert or update or delete on emp for each row
and using :new.emp_name; I have done it long back.. it is not working now. I do not know what sort of the mistake i did on creating database triggers.

yours affectionately with advanced thanks

It means that you should continue discussion about use of uppercase letters in the same thread you've already opened. Do not flood the forum with the same question all over again. These two have been merged.

Thank you sir/ madam,

I solved the problem using trigger. I just made a mistake.

I should have written the following
[code]
before insert or update on <table name>
for each row
begin
:new.cola := upper(:new.cola);
end;

instead
i have written as
before insert or update or delete on <table name>
for each row
begin
:new.cola := upper(:new.cola);
end;
[/]

Anyway thanks to the forum members who had seen my previous request. I intend to close the thread on this topic.

thank you,

yours affectionately

dr.s.raghunathan

There is no :new in case of delete.
This leads to an error.
