Trying to Create a Trigger to let the user insert only 5 times in a day












0














create or replace trigger trg_check_placement 
before insert
on lds_placement
for each row
declare
plt_count number;
begin
select count(*) into plt_count from lds_placement where TO_CHAR(sysdate,'HH24:MI:SS');
if plt_count >5 then
raise_application_error(-20000, 'Sorry! you cannot create more than five placement a day');
end if;
end;


Keep getting the error invalid relational operator at line 4.Is this the correct way of solving this or am i completely wrong ?

  • A trigger like this is not going to solve this particular problem (not simply, anyway). I would ask why you need to limit inserts to 5 per day - what is the business purpose behind this requirement. Reframing the requirement in more concrete terms may result in an improved data model that takes care of the business requirement without resorting to trying to implement a cross-row constraint in a trigger.

  • In other words, what exactly is wrong with a user inserting 6 rows or 7 rows in a particular day? What is special about the 24 hour period? What if the application allowed the inserts but simply ignored the additional rows in processing? There's all sorts of approaches you could take that might simplify things.
