System Event Trigger Types |
AFTER STARTUP
BEFORE SHUTDOWN
AFTER LOGON
BEFORE LOGOFF
AFTER DB_ROLE_CHANGE -- for Data Guard failover and switchover
AFTER SUSPEND
AFTER SERVERERROR (does not trap ...
- ORA-01403: no data found (this is in the Oracle docs but does not seem to be correct)
- ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
- ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
- ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate string bytes (string, string)

Disabling System Triggers |
Sometimes you may need to disable a trigger. For example, if there is an error in a
system trigger (for example an AFTER STARTUP trigger) it may be impossible to start the database. The solution is to disable the
system trigger while the issue is resolved.
Or you may have a DDL trigger defined to trap all the structural changes in the production database. This trigger prevents the
creation of temporary tablespace, so you would need to disable that trigger before proceeding. The following is the method for
disabling system triggers. |
