CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER orders_after_insert
AFTER INSERT
ON orders
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE

BEGIN
-- Find username of person performing the INSERT into the table
SELECT user INTO v_username
FROM dual;

quantity,
cost_per_item,
total_cost,
username )

( :new.order_id,
:new.quantity,
:new.cost_per_item,
:new.total_cost,
