Mutating" means "changing". A mutating table is a table
that is currently being modified by an update, delete, or
insert statement. When a trigger tries to reference a table
that is in state of flux (being changed), it is
considered "mutating", and raises an error since Oracle
should never return inconsistent data.
Another way this error can occur is if the trigger has
statements to change the primary, foreign or unique key
columns of the table off which it fires. If you must have
triggers on tables that have referential constraints, the
workaround is to enforce the referential integrity through
triggers as well.
