Why is the GETDATE() an invalid identifier

Question

Why is the GETDATE() an invalid identifier says Oracle Sql Developer tool when I debug this code:

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER SPName
AFTER UPDATE
ON TableName          


        

Answer 1

Use ORACLE equivalent of getdate() which is sysdate . Read about here. Getdate() belongs to SQL Server , will not work on Oracle.

Other option is current_date
