I am wondering how you will be able to enforce uniqueness via a trigger in a multi-user concurent application? It will not scale. You need either to use your unique function based index or, if in 11gR1 and up create a virtual column and place a unique constraint (unique index) on this virtual column Best regards Mohamed Houri 2014-05-07 15:13 GMT+02:00 Fergal Taheny <ftaheny@xxxxxxxxx>: > Hi Carlos, > > Won't you face a mutating table error if you try to use a trigger for this. > > Regards, > Fergal > -- Bien Respectueusement Mohamed Houri
