IDENTITY columns were introduced in Oracle 12c, allowing for simple auto increment functionality in modern versions of Oracle. The dual table is just a single dummy row of data and is added, in this case, just so it can be ignored and we can instead execute the system function of our trigger rather than returning data of some kind. Note: The FROM dual part is necessary to complete a proper query but is effectively irrelevant. The ‘code’ of the trigger itself is fairly simple: We SELECT the next incremental value from our previously created books_sequence SEQUENCE, and inserting that into the :new record of the books table in the specified. Here we are creating (or replacing if it exists) the TRIGGER named books_on_insert and specifying that we want the trigger to fire BEFORE INSERT occurs for the books table, and to be applicable to any and all rows therein. CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER books_on_insert BEFORE INSERT ON books FOR EACH ROW BEGIN SELECT books_sequence.
