Hi All,

I am new to both this blog and technology. I was able to
see a response for one of the questions on triggers as
below.

I would like to know why are we using
" if rtrim(to_char(sysdate,'day'))=rtrim('sunday') then"
instead, can't we use
" if sysdate = 'sunday' then".

I can understand the use of "rtrim", but dont know y v r
using to_char. I have seen this in many cases but did not
get a convincible explaination.

Please help me with this and do excuse if this question
sounds silly.

Thanks in advance......

create or replace trigger trg_sun
before insert on <table name>
begin
if rtrim(to_char(sysdate,'day'))=rtrim('sunday') then
raise_application_error(-20345,'no transaction in sunday');
end if;
end trg_sun;
