Question

is there anyway we can change a value of a column automatically base on a date? like writing a
procedure or trigger?. I need the value to change without insert or updating any other table/column.

Answer 1

Not directly, no.

You can submit a job using either DBMS_JOB or DBMS_SCHEDULER that will run in the background and issue an UPDATE at a future point in time. You can submit the job from a trigger when the row is inserted or updated, i.e.

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trigger_name
  BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON table_name
  FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
  l_jobno PLS_INTEGER;
BEGIN
  IF :new.status = 'active'
  THEN 
    dbms_job.submit( l_jobno,
                     q'{UPDATE table_name SET status = 'inactive' WHERE table_id = }' || :new.table_id,
                     sysdate + x ); 
  END IF;
END;

Of course, depending on the number of rows we’re talking about, you are probably better served having a single job that runs every few minutes that updates the table based on a whatever criteria you define.
