在一个表中插入后，在Oracle APEX中插入另一个表

Question

What I would like to do is; after I insert some data into table1, I would like some of that data automatically inserted into table2, such as the primary key from table1 inserted into table2 as a foreign key.

Is this done using a trigger. Not sure where to start looking first.

Cheers Brian

Answer 1

Yes you can do that through trigger. You can do it like this:

  CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER my_trigger 
  before INSERT ON table1 
  REFERENCING NEW AS NEW 
  for each row
  BEGIN
    insert into table2(fk_column,column1) values(:new.pk_column_of_table1,'value1');
  END;

Answer 2

you can create a trigger as @vance said and you can use returning into clause if you are populating some of the columns dynamically

INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (t1_seq.nextval, 'FOUR')
  RETURNING id INTO l_id;
