Hi,
I create a following trigger in Oracle8, error message display about the constraining/ mutating table, but when create in Oracle8i the EMP table updated correctly.

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER cascade_updates
AFTER UPDATE OF deptno on DEPT
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
UPDATE emp
SET emp.deptno = :new.deptno
WHERE emp.detpno = :old.deptno;
END;
/

I issue the following statement

UPDATE dept
SET deptno = 1
WHERE deptno = 30;

-----------------------------------------
In both Oracle8, Oracle8i, I have same table
structure and same trigger.
In Oracle8, I get message (table DEPT is
mutating, trigger/function may not see it ......)
In Oracle8i, all the deptno in EMP updated to 1.

Can anybody confirm with me why ? Thanks.

In Oracle8 the error message is generated when validating the foreign key constraint. In Oracle8i validation of foreign key constraint do not raise the 'table mutating' error.
