Oracle задейства това ограничение за проверка на месечна база

използването на тригер, въпреки че изглежда, че работи, е опасен начин да го направите, тъй като сесиите, изпълнявани паралелно, няма да видят вмъкнатите данни от текущата сесия. можете да го направите чрез материализиран изглед:

SQL> create table rent (id number primary key, member varchar2(30), book varchar2(20), date_rented date);

Table created.

SQL> create index rent_ix1 on rent ( member, date_rented);

Index created.

SQL> create materialized view log on rent with rowid(member,date_rented)
  2  including new values;

Materialized view log created.

SQL> create materialized view rent_month_check
  2  refresh fast on commit
  3  as
  4  select trunc(date_rented, 'mm') month, member, count(*) rentals
  5    from rent
  6   group by trunc(date_rented, 'mm'), member;

Materialized view created.

SQL> alter table rent_month_check
  2  add constraint rent_month_check_ck1 check (rentals <= 4);

Table altered.

SQL> insert into rent values(1, 'DazzaL', 'crime', sysdate);

1 row created.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> insert into rent values(2, 'DazzaL', 'mystery', sysdate+1);
