Mass Update and Insert in Oracle

UPDATE tab1 t1 SET col_1 = (SELECT col_1 FROM tab2 t2 WHERE t1.id=t2.id);

INSERT INTO table1 SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE ...

INSERT INTO table1 (col_1, col_2) SELECT col_1, col_2 FROM table2 WHERE ... 

Oracle triggers

Oracle trigger can be used to modify data before update or insert in the same table.

Oracle update trigger:

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER update_time_col
  BEFORE
    UPDATE OF col_1, col_2
  ON tab
  FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
  CASE
    WHEN UPDATING('col_1') THEN
      :new.time_col := SYSTIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '1' DAY;
      :new.col_1 := 'updated ' || :old.col_1;
    WHEN UPDATING('col_2') THEN
      :new.time_col := SYSTIMESTAMP + INTERVAL '1' DAY;
      :new.col_2 := 'updated ' || :old.col_2;    
  END CASE;
END;
/

Oracle insert trigger:

CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER insert_time_col
  BEFORE
    INSERT
  ON tab
  FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
  :new.time_col := SYSTIMESTAMP + INTERVAL '10' DAY;
  :new.col_1 := 'insert ' || :new.col_1;  
  :new.col_2 := 'insert ' || :new.col_2;
END;
