Background/overview

This exercise works with the Pet Store schema (our course project) and tests your new skills in using Oracle exclusive operators and conditions and your ability to create a hierarchical query. Now that you have created three triggers for the PET_CARE_LOG table in the previous lesson, you want to combine all three triggers so that they can share the exception handler and other code if possible.

Hints

Look at the simulation in this lesson to see how to change the exception handler code so that it can send different messages.

Instructions

Create one trigger that fires whenever an insert, update, or delete occurs on the PET_CARE_LOG. Divide up the body into sections that are executed only when an insert occurs, only when an update occurs, and only when a delete occurs.
