Dear DBA Gurus,

        I have Table A and Table B whose structures are almost similar except Table B has a date-time field column. Whenever I insert a new record into Table A I want to insert the same record into the Table B along with the date-time stamp at which the new record is inserted into Table A. For achieving this I wrote an after insert trigger on Table A for each row. The trigger got created successfully. But whenever I try to insert a new record into Table A I get the Ora - 4091, mutating table error. How do I achieve this without any errors? Any workarounds?

        Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.

TIA and Warm Regards,

Ranganath
