Is there a way to create multiple triggers in one script? - database

Question

I am trying to create multiple triggers with only uploading one script into an Oracle DB / APEX workspace, and running it once.
Here is a brief script compared to the one im trying to use:
create or replace trigger "BI_TEC_ROLES"
before insert on "TEC_ROLES"
for each row
begin
if :NEW."ROLE_ID" is null then
select "TEC_ROLES_SEQ".nextval into :NEW."ROLE_ID" from dual;
end if;
end;
create or replace trigger "BI_TEC_STATUSES"
before insert on "TEC_STATUSES"
for each row
begin
if :NEW."STATUS_ID" is null then
select "TEC_STATUSES_SEQ".nextval into :NEW."STATUS_ID" from dual;
end if;
end;
create or replace trigger "BI_TEC_SUBS"
before insert on "TEC_SUBS"
for each row
begin
if :NEW."SUB_ID" is null then
select "TEC_SUBS_SEQ".nextval into :NEW."SUB_ID" from dual;
end if;
end;
I have tried putting GO in between each individual block, but still only creates the first trigger then gives me an error for the second saying:
Error(7,1): PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "CREATE"
I am hoping that it is possible to do this. Thank you very much for your time and interest =)

Answer 1

Add a forward slash on a new line after each trigger to execute the command in the buffer:
create trigger...
...
end;
/

Answer 2

Put a slash '/' as the first character on a blank line between each trigger statement. This is the SQL*PLUS equivalent of 'go'.

Answer 3

Yes we can execute multiple procedure/trigger/function in single script using the FORWARD SLASH / inside the sql file.
Like below:
create or replace trigger "BI_TEC_ROLES"
before insert on "TEC_ROLES"
for each row
begin
if :NEW."ROLE_ID" is null then
select "TEC_ROLES_SEQ".nextval into :NEW."ROLE_ID" from dual;
end if;
end;
/
create or replace trigger "BI_TEC_STATUSES"
before insert on "TEC_STATUSES"
for each row
begin
if :NEW."STATUS_ID" is null then
select "TEC_STATUSES_SEQ".nextval into :NEW."STATUS_ID" from dual;
end if;
end;
/
create or replace trigger "BI_TEC_SUBS"
before insert on "TEC_SUBS"
for each row
begin
if :NEW."SUB_ID" is null then
select "TEC_SUBS_SEQ".nextval into :NEW."SUB_ID" from dual;
end if;
end;
/
Then oracle will consider it as new statement/block.

Answer 4

Place a forward slash
/
between the two statements on a separate line.
Oracle will then accept it as a new statement
