I am trying to create a trigger that updates one column on a specific row when it is updated but I am getting this error
ORA-04091: table table_name is mutating, trigger/function may not see it
when I go to test the trigger.
This is my trigger code:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER tblTrigger AFTER UPDATE ON employees FOR EACH ROW BEGIN UPDATE employees SET revisions = revisions + 1 WHERE ID = ID; END; /
It is suppose to only update that certain Employees ID revisions

Answer
You need to get rid of the BEGIN
…END
like this:
CREATE TRIGGER tblTrigger AFTER INSERT ON employees FOR EACH ROW UPDATE employees SET revisions = revisions + 1 WHERE ID = NEW.ID;
