HOW can I get a STATUS OF TRIGGERs TO FIRE CORRECTLY ???

Question

Hi all,
I had trouble with a migrated DB (7.3.4 -> 9.2.04) why all important TRIGGER did not fire (Business Rules).
I could see all TRIGGERS WAS VALID with:
SELECT a.object_name FROM all_objects a
WHERE a.object_type = 'TRIGGER'
AND a.status = 'INVALID'
AND a.owner = Decode(Upper('SCHEMA'), 'ALL',a.owner, Upper('SCHEMA'));
but they DID NOT FIRE !!! (After recompiling all works well)
This is a production DB and I must:
- simulate this state - HOW can I do it ?
- HOW can I select this TRIGGER STATE in my PRODUCTION
system to re-compile this triggers ???
I must prevent this state on triggers before the user writes data from Forms to the Database:
if NOT TRIGGER_FIRE('Trigger') then RECOMPILE('Trigger'); end if;
Has anyone a good solution ?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Are you sure the triggers have been correctly imported? That they have been imported in the right user schema?
I remember having some problems with triggers when importing in an Oracle 8.0.5 database: the triggers got to be on tables in another schema.
And are they enabled?
Check the sys.all_triggers view:
select * from all_triggers where owner = &my_schema
and see the status column if it is "ENABLED".
