Debugging Triggers

Question

I've created a trigger but when it is invoked I get:
ORA-04098: trigger 'POSTAL_CITY_INSERT' is invalid and failed re-
validation
How can I debug this?
When I alter/compile it I get:
MGR-00072: Warning: TRIGGER POSTAL_CITY_INSERT created with
compilation errors.
How can I easily find out what the compile errors are?
null

Hi,
Just say SHOW ERRORS on the sql prompt and it will do the
needful and it will show the errors along with the line
and column numbers. Also you can have a look at the table
user_errors and give the trigger name for the name field and
trigger for the type field in the where clause.
Hope this helps.
