    When numlock is on, my desktop keyboard types numbers instead of letters

    Hello Vicky,

    Please help us with the below information to help you better.

    • What is the make and model of your laptop?
    This issue might occur if function key in the keyboard is enabled. So as an initial steps, I suggest you to check for the function key in the key board and make sure that it is not enabled.

    If the issue still persists you can run Hardware troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    Suggest you to follow the steps below and run the
    Hardware and Device
    troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    • Type “Troubleshooting” on the search bar.
    • Click on troubleshooting, then click on “Hardware and sound”.
    • Under Hardware and sound, click on “hardware and devices”.
    • A pop-up will appear, click on the “Next" button and your hardware troubleshooting will start.
    Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    SQL HELP-ORA-04073 column list not valid for this trigger type

    Hi,

    After trying to create this trigger:

    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER a
    AFTER INSERT OF duration, startdate ON route, outing
    FOR EACH ROW
    WHEN (NEW.startdate LIKE %jan%)
    AND (NEW.duration = 5)
    DECLARE
    closed_in_jan EXCEPTION;

    EXCEPTION
    WHEN closed_in_jan THEN
    RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20101,We are closed in January.');



    I get this error:

    ORA-04073 column list not valid for this trigger type
    Cause
    A column list was specified for a non-update trigger type.

    Action
    Remove the column list.


    I've tried researching but can't find out what a column list is!

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
