No!
This is not a super-table nor a x-table (X-Men joke, this was awfull, I know… I’m sorry).
ORA-04091: Table "TABLE NAME" is Mutating, Trigger/Function may not see it ORA-06512: em "TRC_INSERT_TABLE", line 14 ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'TRC_INSERT_TABLE'
Very interesting. But not hard to understand. The cause is that the trigger (or a user defined plsql function that is referenced in this statement) attempted to look at (or modify) a table that was in the middle of being modified by the statement which fired it.
In other words, your trying to read a data the you are modifying. The obviously cause an inconsistency, the reason to this error. The data is “mutant”. But the error could be less annoying, right? Oracle and his jokes…
The solution is to rewrite the trigger to not use the table, or, in some situation, you can use an autonomous transaction, to turn it independent. It can be done using the clause PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION.
