Is Dual Table updatable? If we update, will it impact the health of the database?

Habib Ali

• May 10th, 2016

DUAL table is owned by SYS, and is updatable only under SYS account. But never make any changes to DUAL, as it is frequently used by Oracle optimizer to test Execution Plans.

No we can't update dual table because it is a dummy table. But it is possible to create a table named dual and you can insert, update and delete that table.

A trigger may be a
1. DML Trigger on tables
2. Instead of triggers on views
3. System triggers on database or schema

Based on the way it executes statements  triggers are of two types
1. Statement leve trigger
2.  Row level trigger

A trigger fires for three actions
1. Insert
2. Delete 
3.Update

and the trigger can the fired
1. Before action
2. After action.

Pradeep

• Feb 20th, 2016

Basically 5 main types in Oracle Triggers
1. DML Trigger (3 statement * 2 timing * 2 level = 12 types).
2. DDL Trigger.
3. Instead of Trigger (Fired Complex View).
4. System Trigger.
5. Compound Trigger (Introduced by 11g)

PL/SQL Block contains :

Declare : optional

Variable declaration

Begin  : Manadatory

Procedural statements.

Exception : Optional

any errors to be trapped

End :  Mandatory

So only begin and end keywords are required, as needed, to process a pl/sql block.

Before a PL/SQL program can be executed, it must be compiled. The PL/SQL compiler resolves references to Oracle objects by looking up their definitions in the data dictionary. Then, the compiler assigns storage addresses to program variables that will hold Oracle data so that Oracle can look up the addresses at run time. This process is called binding.

How a database language implements binding affects runtime efficiency and flexibility. Binding at compile time, called static or early binding, increases efficiency because the definitions of database objects are looked up then, not at run time. On the other hand, binding at run time, called dynamic or late binding, increases flexibility because the definitions of database objects can remain unknown until then.

This is the best answer I found:

Early binding is checking for existence of objects referred in the program unit during the compilation phase. Late binding will not check the existence of objects till the runtime

Yes, we can use the TCL commands(commit/rollback) in the exception block of a stored procedure/function. The code in this part of the program gets executed like those in the body without any restriction. You can include any business functionality whenever a condition in main block(body of a proc/func) fails and requires a follow-thru process to terminate the execution gracefully!

Yes. You can very well use COMMIT or ROLLBACK in exception block. But it is not a good idea to use, as it will commit the previous transactions in the same PLSQL block. Make use of creating SAVEPOINTS and commiting them when required.
