There are two types of triggers:
1.Row Triggers and Statement Triggers
A row trigger is fired each time the table is affected by
the triggering statement. For example, if an UPDATE
statement updates multiple rows of a table, a row trigger
is fired once for each row affected by the UPDATE
statement. If a triggering statement affects no rows, a row
trigger is not run.
A statement trigger is fired once on behalf of the
triggering statement, regardless of the number of rows in
the table that the triggering statement affects, even if no
rows are affected. For example, if a DELETE statement
deletes several rows from a table, a statement-level DELETE
trigger is fired only once.
2.BEFORE and AFTER Triggers
BEFORE triggers run the trigger action before the
triggering statement is run.
AFTER triggers run the trigger action after the triggering
statement is run.
Trigger Type Combinations
a. BEFORE statement trigger
b.BEFORE row trigger
c.AFTER statement trigger
d.AFTER row trigger
3.INSTEAD OF Triggers
INSTEAD OF triggers provide a transparent way of modifying
views that cannot be modified directly through DML
statements (INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE). These triggers are
called INSTEAD OF triggers because, unlike other types of
triggers, Oracle fires the trigger instead of executing the
triggering statement.
4.Triggers on System Events and User Events
System events
Database startup and shutdown
Data Guard role transitions
Server error message events
User events
User logon and logoff
DDL statements (CREATE, ALTER, and DROP)
DML statements (INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE)
