ORA-04096: trigger 'string' has a WHEN clause which is too large, limit 2K

ORA-04096: trigger 'string' has a WHEN clause which is too large, limit 2K


Cause:


A trigger's 'when' clause is limited to 2K for dictionary storage reasons. The trigger being created exceeded that size.



Action:


Use a smaller 'when' clause. Note, the trigger body could be used to perform the same limiting action as the 'when' clause.
