Hi

I am trying to create a TRIGGER function,that populates values to another
table upon inserting a value into a table. The issue is,if there is a
exception(in Table 2) everything gets rolled back including Table1.I dont
want this to happen.i want the value of table1 to stay.
I tried "try....except" and introduced SAVEPOINT.But resulted in runtime
error.

Can anyone please help me out

The function executed by the trigger will be executed as a single
transaction. If any part fails, they all fail.

Well, wrapping the bits of table2 in a begin....exception block would allow
him to do what he wants.
